This is great stuff. I almost don't know where to start lampooning it.. Let's try a country song....I don't get the point of caring who has the fastest single computer system, but just quickly counting through the top 50 on the 500 site China has 4 super computers, while the united states has 16. Who do you think is getting more done the country with 4 high end computers systems or the country with 16. Also just within the top ten the united states have 5 systems listed, half of the worlds 10 fastest computer systems are in the united states. Another interesting little number crunch is there computer uses 17 megawatts, our top 3 use 18.5 mega watts, talk about efficiency. Also those 3 systems using only 1 mega watt more have a combined processing power of 45 petaflops, so 1mw more of power usage but 12 more Petaflops. Also looking at some of the systems the USA have in planning this title prob won't stay with the Chinese for long.
"I got a nineteen megawatt petaflopper waitin' for ya,
So if you know what's good for ya darlin',
Yo best be gittin' on home"
We's gonna stay up late
We's gonna calculate
We's gonna procreate
So honey don't be late
I'll petaflop ya silly
Give you a big wet willy
Then calculate some more
