[QUOTE="hokiethang, post: 13464"] I wasnt allowed to bring my camera in :-( but the place is awesome. They seem to have something on the order of 1050 nodes up and running at the moment with the confirmed capacity of 10.28 TeraFlops (from the architect himself). The cooling system is really effective as the room which is 1 acre in size stays at about 62 degrees, and if the cooling system is damaged, the room would jump to over 100 degrees in less than 5 minutes. The backup power systems are amazing too, they have two separate power company feeds, a huge UPS, and a backup generator all for the cluster alone...
