Sun Microsystems announced this morning it has developed an architecture for supercomputing which, as soon as the fourth quarter of this year, will drive a data cluster capable of a sustained processing rate of 1.7 petaflops.  That's six times faster than the machine perched atop the most recent Top 500 supercomputers list today...and IBM has already reacted.

The Climate Computer In 2002, a couple of hardware geeks thrust a crazy, fresh idea on the computing community. Chris Hipp, a co-founder of blade maker RLX, and Wu-chun Feng, then a researcher at Los Alamos National Laboratory, concocted a very powerful cluster with servers based on laptop chips from Transmeta. The cluster failed to outperform similar Xeon-based systems, but it could run in a desert warehouse with no special cooling and with less failures than other Los Alamos boxes protected by very expensive air conditioning systems.â¦
