PeoplePC-News: "Idahofalls, Idaho: A new supercomputer could join workers at the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory with colleagues in France, Chile and across the United States while keeping sensitive information secure. The system could reach speeds of up to 1,500 gigaflops, making it one of the 150 fastest supercomputers in the world. To design the next generation of nuclear power plants, research the cause of mad cow disease and develop microbes that can eat heavy metals to use cleaning up contaminated sites. Cost of $1.97 million. The system is expected to be running by the end of September."
This is only a hour's drive from my town where I live. Guess Idaho is finally coming into the space-age.
