"The standard one petaflop Blue Gene/P comes with 294,912-processors connected by a high-speed, optical network.

However, it can be expanded to pack 884,736 processors, a configuration that would allow the machine to compute 3,000 trillion calculations per second (three petaflops).

"Blue Gene/P marks the evolution of the most powerful supercomputing platform the world has ever known," said Dave Turek, vice president of deep computing, IBM. "

Wonder what the PPD would be?

It still couldn't stomp Team ms9cw.... ...for at least 3 nanoseconds

My celeron could give it a run for its money.

Pff, my rig could outfold that!



I doubt it's x86

I doubt it's x86

PowerPC 450 at 850 MHz

No point in tryinig to borg it - Stanford would never be able to create enough WUs to keep it busy

Well, you could just run every other DC project and be the worlds greatest contributer!

Can't see Borkeley coping with a user like that either.

Berkeley struggle to keep their own lights on so I probably wouldn't install a SETI client.

rosetta?
enstine?
theres godda be enough WUs over the whole group
just give each boink poject an equal %

It's made of cells though isn't it?

So most Boinc projects don't have a suitable app ready to run on it.

EDIT: Just re-read it and that's the one going into Los Alamos.
