As of today it's the third fastest cluster in the world, as it

i've been wondering about that... does anyone possess the skill to
calculate the likely teraflops generated with 1100 Apple G5's rated at
2.6Ghz? or 3Ghz?

Here is a listing of the top-5 systems from the draft report:

System Nr of procs R_max R_peak
Earth Simulator 5120 35860 40960
ASCI Q AlphaServer 8160 13880 20480
Apple G5 dual 2200 10280 17600
HP RX2600 Itanium 2 1936 8633 11616
ASCI Q AlphaServer 4096 7727 10240

if so, let us know...
