[Beowulf] China aims for 100 PF

[C Bergström]

Did you even other to read the article? It's IBM fab, but UC Davis
research.... unless I'm completely wrong.. Without real details like
the ISA (which I assume is some common RISC-like thing) who knows how
useful it could ever be outside of testing how many "cores" can be
stuffed on a single chip.. I'm curious how much the chip-to-chip
"networking" consumes compared to the cores themselves, as well as how
the hell you'd try to program that for any level of high utilization..
dum-dee-doh..
