IBM / NCSA Petaflap Supercomputer “Blue Waters” Project Abandoned

“It’s not often you hear of contract money being returned, especially with government contracts. IBM was putting a lot of resources into the contract [but] It wasn’t a profitable direction for IBM.” – Rick Doherty

BAD HARDWARE WEEK: Blue Waters before became murky.
HAL, open that doors please. 
Blue Waters will be the first production deployment of PERCS technologies, 100 times more powerful than today's general purpose supercomputers but dramatically simpler to use.

BAD HARDWARE WEEK: Yeah, extremely simple to use. :)
