The New Scientist has a short article on IBM BlueGene/L, first in the latest Top500 supercomputer list.

And the E@H server status currently lists 55 TFlops for the hosts active in the past 7 days, which can be thought of as a kind of sustained throughput measure (?).

Compare this with the 280 TFlops peak throughput of BlueGene/L : E@H's computational power makes quite an honourable impression.

Kudos for the people which designed BOINC and E@H, and for the many dedicated E@H users which maintain this impressive computation engine.

I wonder what kind of results E@H would get if we could use it for just one hour?

BlueGene/L and my Pentium II share the same OS, Linux. Kudos to Linus Torvalds!

Yes, but I think BlueGene/L uses more, with its 131072 processors. See www.top500.org for a list of 500 top computers. 7 among 10 of the top 10 use Linux, 3 some variant of UNIX.
