Pretty crazy that we're closer to 2030, than we are 2005. Where did the time go!

Boringly dubbed "Sequioa", the aim is to get the system, which will be housed at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in a series of 96 racks, to log performance speeds of up to 20 petaflops.Boasting over 1.6 million processors and some 1.6TB of memory, the Sequoia system will initially be used to keep track of the US' mountain of aging nukes and simulating nuclear explosions, er, tests to determine whether the weapons are stable and safe (irony?!) for use. The number of cores the supercomputer will have is, as of yet, a closely guarded secret.

Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

That's what a FLOP is?!?!/
