Basics: The system will be 400 teraflops and is scheduled to be completed in late 2007. Sun Microsystems won the contract to supply the equipment. The system will be mostly used to provide power to University of Texas and Texas Advanced Computing Center projects. They will loan out time to other research projects though.

One quote: “TACC is a major provider of supercomputer power to U.S. researchers,” Schulten said. “The new TACC/Sun system, combined with our group's award-winning parallel molecular dynamics code, promises to simulate the largest structures yet of living cells. This will turn the TACC/Sun system into a new type of microscope that shows how viruses infect human cells, how obesity is fought through the cell’s own proteins, and how nature harvests sunlight to fuel all life on Earth,” Schulten concluded.
