Saw this earlier this evening:
IBM to Build 1.6 Petaflops Super for Los Alamos Lab
http://www.itjungle.com/breaking/bn090706-story01.html
"Los Alamos plans to build Roadrunner in three stages. The first stage
is to get the Opteron machines installed, which will comprise just under
80 teraflops of computing capacity and 16,000 Opteron processor cores.
In the second phase, IBM will provide Los Alamos with some Cell-base
blade servers and lots of programming assistance to tune Linux for the
Cell chip and, more importantly, for the specific workloads at Los Alamos."
We win again. Seems to me Linux (the kernel) and the Cell processor are
getting a lot of positive press.
