will it have a "Vista Ready" label ? ^_^

I though the Americans were going to build Colossus first. Ah well. I guess Guardian will have to do.

All hail the upcoming robot overlord(s).

I don't believe anything the japs say. I don't trust them since I saw them say they discovered heaven before the US did in South Park Colorado. They had the set with flying angehls on strings.... ;p


Somebody is trolling for a cheeky new marketing moniker for a new chippery booth? £'s & £'s £ish & €hips! €mpire €hips! Angglomeration. Trannie-sphere. Ship-O'Chips...
I'm really trouffle-pigging, here. So you may want to contact Gordon Ramsay.

25 gb/sec at each unit times units used. Thats actual data so much more than mere Total sq wave count, as comparison is making. Id use it to track NYC. Each array member is ~500 TV station channels? I use it for simple double aggrator to put Best of Todays O/S ?ultie6.66? to speak notch under: theinquirer.org subtle triple agravator tome'.

Will that make it "Vista Capable"?

There is absolutely no written or oral evidence that T. W. Watson ever said: "“I think there is a world market for maybe five computers.” 

AT adds: There is now.

Nick:

Have they developed an interconnect or an entire system? Your article mentions an optical interconnect but no other hardware. Where is the 10PFLOPs?

SKYNET!!!

WOW finally a computer that can run Crysis.

Maybe that should be something in the range of 25GBps and it would still be pretty slow considering that the non-optical AMD HyperTransport and upcoming Intel CSI QuickPath are capable of 20-25GBbps and even more... 
Maybe that's 25Tbps what NEC achieved, uh?

While the use for big computing tasks - oil reservoir modeling, molecular drug modeling - is there, it will never be usefull for users. By the time it would be afordable, Windows would have increased in complexity so that it would still take 2-3 minutes to boot, and 30 seconds to open Word.
Francis's rule: Bloatware trumps hardware improvements.

About time too, there's been optical switches for ages providing the framework for many a megacluster. Would someone please put them on a bus already. Or just move directly to superconductors or ultraconductor buses, do not pass Go.

The bus conductor takes a message ticket, stamps it, and you get off at your destination address. Ding ding.
