| AB, you wrote about working on a similar project - is that a connected
| project?
`----
The super-computer I built was for Lawrence Livermore National Labs
(http://www.llnl.gov). 

It has 4096 Itanium2 64 bit Processors, 8TB of RAM, Quadrics
Interconnect and runs GNU/Linux. 

Code named "Thunder", with a performance of 20 trillion floating point
operations per second will rank second place on the next TOP500 list
of the worlds most powerful supercomputers. 

All the software I wrote for Thunder is released under GNU GPL.
