It is still a TR3.  The least of their desired requirements, though
implementing a lot of their TR1's without LinuxBIOS could be a real
challenge.

For those whoe are wondering just what MCR will be like the
approximate specs of what Lawrence Livermore National Labs wants are:

2 Terabyte of ram.
2K processors.
1 Gigabyte a second to shared storage.
Doing a theoreticaly 8 Teraflops a second.

Now you have an explanation why I have been quiet lately....
