When the Top 500 list comes out this month, there should be several PF machines on the list.

It would be interesting to know how long it would take it to render a movie like ‘Toy Story’.

cost about $100 million, include a power consumption of about 3.9 Mwatts, as well as a structure that includes 80 TB of memory, 576 miles of fiber optic cable as well as 3456 tri-blades which can deliver 400 GFlops each

Other interesting facts of the supercomputer, which IBM said cost about $100 million, include a power consumption of about 3.9 Mwatts ... I see I'm going to have to upgrade my AC.

According to IBM, Roadrunner has the floating point performance of about 100,000 notebooks. Now the question is: Will Steve Jobs ever build a machine as powerful as this and sell it for $2500?
Per Moore's Law, the answer is probably not but possibly.
Moore's Law tells us that processing power doubles every 18 months. That's a lot of "times twos" to get to 100,000. In fact it takes about 16 or 17 of them so Jobs would still have to be on the job 25 years from now in 2033. That's not likely but possible.
I can't wait. It will probably be running OS XX

I turned down a job offer about 6 years ago to work on, if not this very project, a sister project in the same group in Poughkeepsie. Oh, well.

Thanks Ernest.
