I wonder how the system works where a company is waiting for chip developers to come out with the designs they want and have to wait whilst problems knock the shipment times back.
In which case why is the US (which you say like to have as many such companies afloat as possible) not more astringent about chip fabricators?
I'd have thought they see the danger of having only Intel in business was letting the monopolist too much slack.

Love the technical information on the hardware but could we also know what OS's were represented on the list? pleeeeaaaaaaaaase? Personally I'd like to see what the proportions of various *NIX variants and *NIX like OS's were. Obviously I don't expect to see windows on any of them but that's simply because windows is a pile of wank.
Paris, just because.

Did anyone else read that article like an episode of that popular stupidly-fast car wank program Top Gear??
Meh!

Seems a no brainer - Roadrunner is 2x as energy efficient as the no2. Cray have not quite managed to get back to glory days yet I'd say as you would save the cost of the Roadrunner in power alone over the Cray!
