I don't know about this arms race. If you ask any scientist the huge problems for us are that it's so hard to get any time, not the capability of the computer. I have to reserve time 1 year in advance at my uni nowadays. I know that the faster computer will also mean faster projects done but my experience with superior computing power so far is that the more there is the more wasteful people use it.

I'm pretty sure those scientists at Best Buy will do an excellent job.
but will it run crysis?
Why don't they just build it to mine bit coin... That would get america out of debt.
It's good that research for this will get funded. Maybe some new technology is developed because of this and we can all have faster computers in the near future. Just hopefully not as big :v:
Make it GFS2 and we'll be set, because the US definitely needs to haul ass to even think about competing with the ECMWF.
he just wants to play batman with a decent framerate
