IBM "Blue Waters"
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/07/11 ... wer7_ncsa/
"the first detailed specifications of the "Blue Waters" system IBM is building for the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA)........a 10 petaflop system (peak) comprised of 38,900 eight-core Power7 chips with each chip running at 4.0GHz. This monster will have an astonishing 620TB of memory and 5PB/s of memory bandwidth.
According to the documents, IBM will rely on a 1.30PB/s interconnect to link the systems and will feed them with 26PB of storage. As if that's not enough, IBM will offer an exabyte of archival storage. Why not?
This insane machine will be built out of more than 100 racks filled with servers and storage systems, taking up close to 4,400 sq. feet."
Wonder how many BOINC credits per day this would achieve???
