Here's a pop quiz:
What computer takes up two basketball courts worth of floor space
and weighs 106 tons?
ENIAC? Nope -- not big enough. (!)
Here's another piece of the puzzle:
It contains 8,192 CPUs, 6.2 *tera*bytes of memory, and
160 terabytes of disk space.
That should narrow down the choices. ;)
The machine is from IBM. It's called "ASCI White," and has been clocked
at 12.3 teraflops.
