This is really awesome, I hope that I might get the chance to see it someday since I live kinda close to U of I and my sister goes there. :angry:

Hey Dave, when are we going to build a super computer for our site? :(

Have someone read the book Digital Fortress by Dan Brown ?
In the story, NSA has a computer with 3 million processors !

It rocks ! :angry:

I'd also like to see it sometime. That'd be something else to have for your college. How much did it cost? I didn't see that in the article.

No idea!! It hasn't been built yet, so they probably have yet to get the bill.
