Interesting, I was under the impression that was already a target for the US? Or does this formalise it in some way? Sadly what our pollies recently announced and claimed will be Australia's fastest supercomputer (for our Bureau of Meteorology) will initially be slower than the current fastest Australian Top500 machine (owned by a private company) and only when finally expanded would it be faster, assuming no other changes in the meantime. cheers, Chris -- Christopher Samuel Senior Systems Administrator VLSCI - Victorian Life Sciences Computation Initiative Email: [email protected] Phone: +61 (0)3 903 55545 http://www.vlsci.org.au/ http://twitter.com/vlsci _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, [email protected] sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
