The Chennai Edition of "The Hindu" has reported that Thunder is ranked #2 among the top 500 Supercomputers. www.top500.org/list/2004/06
<quote> The new number 2 is the `Thunder' made by a relatively unknown assembler, California Digital Corporation and supplied to the Lawrence Livermore Laboratories. Its top speed is about half that of the NEC machine at 19.94 teraflops. </quote>
Hats off to AB :) Of course, AB wrote about this long ago to this list. It is fair that the facts are made more well known !
#257 is from IMSc, Chennai.
