I wish I know more about the SAGE (machine) that hosts the SAGE
(software) that was used for this, but apparently washington.edu
<http://washington.edu>'s web server can't handle the CNN exposure as
well as their number cruncher can crunch numbers. They are still down.

See the appended blurb from one of our sales guys.

I thought you might find this interesting. The 8-way opteron system is a
Western Scientific FusionA8 with 64GB RAM. It ran some high profile
calculations, which have appeared in the national news today ("Sage
Supercomputer" refers to the machine):

It's an article about the recent calculation of the character table
of E8, which was done on sage.math... here's how the BBC put it:
"Conceptualizing, designing and running the calculations took a team
of 19 mathematicians four years. The final computation took more than
three days' solid processing time on a Sage supercomputer."
