Gear Live - New Cray Supercomputer Uses 24,000 Opterons:
"On a fairly regular basis, some research lab or government institution needs computing power on a massive scale. In this case it’s the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory. They’re having Cray, an old hat at supercomputers, build them a system that should break the 1 petaflop barrier (that’s 1 quadrillion floating-point operations per second). The next closest system currently in operation is IBM’s Blue Gene/L which turns out a quite respectable 350 teraflops."
