According to http://www.geekzone.co.nz/content.asp?contentid=7458,
NEC has
announced an 800+ TFLOPS machine, SX-9; it does 100-odd GFLOPS per
core
(with a new vector processor).

P.S. gosh, wouldn't it be cool to have a beowulf of these?! :-)
SX-9 itself has 512 nodes in full configuration w/840 vector TFLOPS.
To build cluster based on such SX-9s you'll need to organize
channel bonding of a lot Infiniband QDR channels :-))
Isn't that basically what the Earth Simulator was? Just built out of
earlier NEC vector machines? SX-6 or something?
