"What's different about Cplant is that it's sewn from commodity computers instead of being grown from the ground up as a monolithic supercomputer," said Rolf Reisen, senior member of the technical staff and the investigator who developed Cplant at Sandia.
Cplant is an assembly of 600 computers that are each about the same as any high-end system you'd find in a computer store, according to Reisen.
Together, the 600 computers employ 580 nodes or "computer brains" to perform 232.6 billion operations per second.
