This work was mentioned weeks (if not even a month) ago in
the context of Linux. This supercomputer was said to run
Linux, which is probably unsurprising as Linux drives (IIRC)
80% of the top 500 computers in the world
(performance-wise). If only the BBC cared to mention this...
it's good publicity for Linux.
