Virginia Tech Supercompuer - Now at #3?
MacBidouille links to an interim update on Supercomputer rankings (pdf - Page 53).
The latest results give the Virginia Tech G5 Cluster (2,112 Processors) a score of 9.5 TFlops. Previous preliminary results placed the G5 Cluster at 7.41 TFlops which placed it at 4th place.
The new score of 9.5 TFlops overtakes a Linux 2,304 Processor Intel Xeon cluster from last year's list along with what appears to be some new entries this year (see PDF list).
Again, these are still preliminary numbers. Official numbers to be released in November.

This placing has changed, what, 4, times? I mean, we don't we wait another week or so to the final results are in?

Sort of like listening to bits of a sports match on the radio--we can't see any of the details, all we get are nonfinal scores every once in a while.
I'm waiting for the ESPN recap, and to find out how well all the other teams scored, for that matter--there could be plenty of new fast clusters around the world (not in Texas, though).

#3 would be great, it would show how effective macs can be as supercomputers, and how low cost they are for the performance you get.
