Cray
lands $200 Million Linux-Opteron Supercomputer deal with Oak
Ridge National Laboratory, in what could be the fastest
supercomputer in the world when it is delivered in 2008. The system
is expected to provide the world's first petaflops-speed (1,000
trillion floating-point operations per second) supercomputer,
utilizing current and future versions of the AMDTM Opteron
processor. Cray supercomputers were first to achieve gigaflops
sustained performance in 1989, and first to break the sustained
teraflops barrier in 1998.
