The Top500 supercomputer list has a new number one:
The K Computer, built by Fujitsu, currently combines 68544 SPARC64 VIIIfx CPUs, each with eight cores, for a total of 548,352 cores?almost twice as many as any other system in the TOP500. The K Computer is also more powerful than the next five systems on the list combined.
Interestingly this system runs under Linux. And it uses tofu as its interconnect ;-)
