go alma mater...

ok, the rebuilt and even faster than before system X has dropped from the 3rd to 7th on the top 500 supercomputer list, but at 12.25 teraflops, virginia tech still has the fastest supercomputer at an academic institution... it's also the cheapest machine in the top 10 at $6 million, while number 6 is only about 10% faster and cost $200 million...

mmm. I'm not much of a Mac guy, but man, I love that computer (or "that computer cluster"). I'm really impressed with what they've been able to do (economically). We've just gotten a couple of the dual 64-bit processor G5's in here at the office, and man, do they have me drooling.
