Terascale Cluster

Combining the power of 1,100 Apple G5 computers, the Terascale Cluster project is bringing Virginia Tech to the forefront in the supercomputing arena.

At only $5m it's the cheapest Supercomputer in the world.

sorry it's apple g5's but this would make one hell of a folder

I cant find anything on the actual computational power of the cluster

I have a hard time beleiving $5 mill is the cheapest supercomputer. I know there are some pretty cheap/powerful Athlon clusters out there, and they're certainly considerably cheaper than G5s.
