Fujitsu may beat IBM with fastest Linux supercomputer

IBM has a challenger in the race to deliver the world's fastest Linux-based
supercomputer. A day after the U.S. company said it had received an order
for what stands to be the fastest such machine, Japan's Fujitsu Ltd.
announced an order for a faster machine that it expects to put into service

The Fujitsu computing cluster will contain 2,048 as-yet-unidentified
processors and stands to deliver a peak performance of 12.4 trillion
floating point operations per second (TFLOPS), the company said in a

that will use the computer mainly in biotechnology research. Delivery is
scheduled for March 2004.
