			<description><![CDATA[Are you seriously suggesting 'the cloud' could replace supercomputers? Because if you are, you should go back and think some more. The biggest bottlenecks on supercomputers aren't lack of processing power, it's the interconnect bandwidth and particularly latency. For top performance they need microsecond level latency. What you're talking about has already been done, it's called grid computing. Outside of distributed computing projects it's not used very often.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Graphene?? Gas deposition died 2 years ago (thank god). Light packet-quanta. That was supposed to replace silicon. Alas none of that matters right now. I thought the Chinese had the fastest supercomputer? I also thought it was made from nvidia GPU's?? I need to know about cloud more. I think in theory, it can pull the physical resources of all computers hooked up to it. At any given time, there are probably like 100 million going in the US alone. Look at the steam user charts in the millions too. I could also be very wrong and/or suffering from symptoms of a mild stroke, making what I say......meaningless. ,]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[That's assuming Moore's "Law" is sustained. It's looking increasingly unlikely that, although still far from decided, that this can be done with silicon. It's been said before, but this time it looks like Moore's Law could fail before too long. There is graphene waiting in the wings, but when fabricating complex microprocessors from graphine could begin is anyone's guess. Hopefully no one brings up quantum computers. When someone brings up quantum computation in near-future time scales it just shows how little they actually know.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[well, thats stupid... im studying at TUM in Garching/Munich. And nobody said, it will be the fastest. You just made that up to get some sensation in that boring news. It will be one of the fastest, but for sure not the fastest. read that: http://portal.mytum.de/pressestelle/meldungen/NewsArticle_20101214_120604 some conflict in here? of course the first two are just wrong]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Yeah, there is no way they'll have the fastest supercomputer in the world with 328,000 Xeon cores (assuming an 8-core Sandy Bridge Xeon). However, iDataplex boxes have the ability to mount GPUs, so they could definitely make it faster if they wanted to. As is, it'll be slower than the mentioned new machines for ORNL and LLNL and probably slower than Blue Waters too. Not to mention anything the Chinese might slap together.]]></description>
