National center for supercomputing associations announced a super powered computing grid. While 280 teraflops of computing power and 20 petabytes of storage is impressive, it is the user interface that is supposed to be the crucial element for users.
Is anyone going to need more computing power! Well, it is always an application coming along that needs more resources than is available and thus catching up with all the available resources. It has happened always in computing history and I'm sure it is going to happen soon on this "teragrid" too. Until then it'll make the life of researchers in advanced areas easier quite a bit.
