10-Tflops computer built off the shelf

Lawrence Livermore National Lab is putting together a supercomputer that will boast nearly the same performance as the ASCI White system from IBM that the lab now uses but it promises to be 10 times cheaper. Called Evolocity, the system will be the fastest clustered supercomputer in the world. But it will be far easier on the wallet, thanks to the use of off-the-shelf components and the open-source Linux operating system
