We have a petaflop

IBM with BlueGene/L has hit the petaflop at LANL.  The mainstream story is here.   IBM  & LANL press releases are not out yet.  Curious.

Anyway, it looks like the Petaflop Rex has been discovered.  Nice bragging rights to be sure, but what does it mean in terms of real application capabilities?  It will be interesting to watch the spin for the next few days.
