Nuke boffins plan Penguin petaflop cluster
« on: November 21, 2008, 07:08:28 AM »

America's Lawrence Livermore nuclear bomb lab has teamed up with open-source computing heavyweights to build the next generation of Linux superclusters, ultimately scaling into the petaflop range. The project has been dubbed "Hyperion".

"Hyperion represents a new way of doing business. Collectively we are building a system none of us could have built individually," said Mark Seager, project leader at the atom lab.

Personally I think that the penguins are planning to nuke Microsoft. :)
