Super Savings on a Supercomputer

The 44th spot might not sound like a big deal, but Sandia computer researchers say otherwise -- mainly because Cplant is one of the few on the list that are "homemade."

At US$7.5 million, Cplant is less than 10 percent the cost of more specialized supercomputers, such as IBM and Lawrence Livermore National Lab's Blue Pacific, which cost US$94 million.
