does SGI/Cray have a petaflop box in the works? looking at IBM's press release, they're building a few of these things. i can only believe that IBM's exclusive contract to put the Vatican Library online, has put them in good graces with many nuns at DOE. does anyone know what this weeks definition of "high performance" is? vincent biz.yahoo.com Today's announcement complements two previous announcements by DOE, underscoring IBM's technology leadership and its ability to deliver advanced computing technology. Last week, President Clinton announced the DOE's ASCI PathForward initiative to build the infrastructure necessary for a 100 tera-flop computer. Under PathForward, IBM will develop high-speed switching technology for supercomputers capable of 30 to 100 trillion calculations per second. In 1996, IBM was a winner in the initial ASCI contract with the DOE and Livermore to develop a three tera-flop computer. IBM plans to deliver the system in 1999.
