they will be power by the Power5 CPU
Asci purple
The ASCI Purple system is to be powered by 12,544 POWER5 microprocessors, IBM's next generation microprocessor. These processors will be contained in 196 individual computers with a total memory bandwidth of 156,000 GB. All of the computers are interconnected via a super-fast data highway with a total interconnect bandwidth of 12,500 GB. ASCI Purple will run IBM's AIXL operating system. The combined system will contain 50 terabytes of memory and two petabytes of disk storage.
Blue gene
When completed, Blue Gene/L will have the peak performance of 360 teraflops with 130,000 processors running Linux.
IBM said the supercomputer will have the capability to process data at a rate of one terabit per second, equivalent to the data transmitted by ten thousand weather satellites. The supercomputer will be used by the three National Nuclear Security Administration laboratories (Los Alamos, Sandia and Lawrence Livermore) as well as other DOE laboratories and members of the ASCI University Alliance.
