Teraflop = 1000 Gigaflops, I believe.

Same as a Terabyte = 1024 Gigabytes.

But where's the storage?! And the tape backup. Are they protecting their data for crying out loud!?

Well, having a supercomputer crash during a scientific operation isn't exactly the best thing that can happen

One of the reasons the system was chosen was for its stability. Let's not go down the Apple bashing road!

Umm, Kevy, I think you read my comment the wrong way. I was saying they chose Apple because they didn't want the system to crash all the time.

"Well, having a supercomputer crash during a scientific operation isn't exactly the best thing that can happen "

As in, they chose Apple because otherwise, it would crash during a scientific operation.

I use a Mac, remember?

Indeed you are correct my friend. And for that, I extend my humblest of apologies.

(Man I can be kinda pissy when I first get home from work.)

Where's the challenge if your machine isn't in danger of crashing at any moment? No sense of adventure.
