China’s PFLOPS triplets

Story in the Inquirer (pointer courtesy Sun’s HPC Watercooler) on China’s hypercompetitive technology thrust:

While other regional HPC powers, Japan and Korea, aim for one Petaflop+ class system each in the next few years, China is pushing to the forefront of the game by going for at least two, most probably three, Petaflop (sic) supercomputers by 2010.
