From the article:

For the most part, university students have used rather modest computing systems to support their studies. They are learning to collect and manipulate information on personal computers or what are known as clusters, where computer servers are cabled together to form a larger computer.

Tools like Hadoop, for processing internet-scale data sets and R, for analyzing the processed data (most likely in some parallelized form), and other open-source projects not yet conceived, are going to be critical in this endeavour.
