The 32,000 node Blue Gene/L represents the second stage of a three-part build-out of the US$100 million supercomputer that is expected to be completed by June. When fully assembled at Lawrence Livermore, Blue Gene/L will be a 130,000-processor system with a theoretical peak performance of 360 teraflops, according to IBM.
Whow... This thing will be done before it starts!

That number is a third of a petaflop... perhaps with another upgrade after faster chips come out, a petaflop will be reachable.
