Wish this was one of my systems.....
« on: May 08, 2008, 07:50:10 AM »
From the Q3 2008 fincial results for SGI

NASA chose SGI to supply its next major supercomputer, a 20,480-core, 20TB SGI® Altix® ICE system, after a competitive evaluation the space agency launched last year. The new supercomputer will support NASA's aeronautics, science, space operations and space exploration initiatives, including its plan to resume manned missions to the moon and eventually manned exploration of Mars.

Zoë: Shepard, isn't the Bible kind of specific about killing?
Book: Very specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzy around the area of kneecaps.
