Well, that Virginia Tech G5 cluster is online and cranking. The cluster is reported to be able to pump out 17.6 Terraflops, second only to Japan's Earth Simulator's massive 41 Terraflops and is considerably faster than the performance of the current number 3 1152-node dual 2.4 GHz Xeon MCR Linux cluster and its 11.2 Terraflops. And, the Xeon cluster has 104 more processors than the G5 cluster.
