Rumours are strengthening about a new 50+ PF system in China (Tianhe-2)
which will have an Rpeak of 53-55PF and Rmax of 27-29PF.

That's 10PF more than Titan, the current #1..

# *UPDATE* 11:41 a.m. Eastern -- Confirmed from three
# credible sources--there are 48,000 MICs on the system
#
# *UPDATE* 2:37 p.m. Eastern -- From Dr. Satoshi Matsuoka
# "1PB memory & 12.4PB Storage. 576 port x 13 Core SW, NW
# derived from Tianhe-1A & improved (still IB QDRx2 equiv.)"

Could explain why people have been finding it so hard to get
their hands on MICs..
