The machine, built by Mountain View, Calif.-based Silicon Graphics Inc. (SGI), received 1,024 MIPS R14000A microprocessors running at 600 MHz, replacing microprocessors that ran at 400 MHz. The new processors will push the supercomputer's processing power from 819.2 billion floating-point operations per second (GFLOPS) to 1,228.8 GFLOPS of theoretical peak speed, according to John Ziebarth, chief of NASA's Advanced Supercomputing (NAS) Division at Ames.
