(It should be noted that it is the 5th most powerful machine in the world. The top 4 reside in United States.

(It should also be noted that the BSC played a major role in devolping the Cell processor used in the PS3.)
DAMN THE BCS!!!!!
I also liek how #1 on that list has 131072 processors and #2 only has 26544.
I like how
The #1 machine has a 280,600 gflops / 131,072 processors = 2.14080811 gflops/proc.
The #2 machine has a 101,400 gflops / 26,544 processors = 3.82007233 gflops/proc.
This means the processors in the #2 machine are ~twice as fast as the processors in the #1 machine. (In short, AMD > IBM.)
