Sweet! I wonder how many GHz, or Teraherz?
EDIT:
"A single teraflop is one million million floating-point operations - or intensive mathematical calculations - per second, and is about 100 times faster than the most powerful desktop computers."
So, 70.72*100*3.4 = 24044.8 GHz !!!! WOZERZ!
If you played a game on that, wait, you wouldn't be able to because it would go so fast!
EDIT - Again! "It has been designed to include an unprecedented number of different processing units - 65,536 in all - and is expected to reach a staggering 360 teraflops when completed"
Umm, WOW! 360*100*3.4=122400GHz, Holy cow cow! |

uh no, because your game would use only one of those cpus and it would probably be slower than a standard computer because it wasn't designed for playing games. |

Thing probably needs a whole powerplant to itself! |

2002 was the same year it was concluded by local tests just how bad the problems actually were.
Maybe the supercomputer can calculate the logic behind that. |

Now, now. Let's not be unfair to the giant corporation. Corporations are people too! They make mistakes just like everyone else. Couldn't this just be a ruse by Apple to sell more iPods? I think this is exactly why we need tort reform.

| Seen it!
IBM is actually building 3 of these, I think. They have one that's still under construction at the TJ Watson Research Lab in Yorktown, NY (where my dad works, so I got to go see it). The architecture is quite impressive - composed of dual-CPU units in one chip. Two of those chips are on a card, 16 of those cards go on a board, 16 of those boards make up a frame, and two frames make a rack. So one rack has 2048 CPUs in it. They use a custom bus to interconnect CPUs in what can be abstracted in a 3-dimensional torus (each one talks to the CPUs "above", "below", "in front", "behind", and to the "left" and "right" of it.) The boards and racks communicate with each other and the storage units (robotic tape units and storage servers) over GigE. The whole thing takes up a huge room with lots of air-conditioning.
