The processors used are IBM RS6000 SP Power3's which run at 375 MHz. There are 8,192 of these processors in the core compute system. The total amount of RAM is 6Tb. The system is housed in over two hundred cabinets and fills a large room with an area the size of two basket ball courts.

Now that's what I'm talking about

how much more powerful the human brain is than this computer is amazing, but what's really amazing is the power to size ratio.
Think about that. That's extremely amazing.
AND TO THINK. SOME PEOPLE DON'T BELIEVE THERE'S A GOD.
I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU ALL TO LOOK IN TO IT.
