Appro has delivered the first of four Infiniband-connected Linux supercomputing clusters to Lawrence Livermore National Labs.

The thing is called Rhea, after the Greek version of the Great Mother Goddess, and consists of 576 four-way Opteron Socket F nodes that reportedly peaks out at 22 teraFLOPS.

The other three clusters, named Zeus, Atlas and Minos, are scheduled for completion at the end of Q1 using the same Appro Quad XtremeServer solution used in Rhea and giving Livermore 2,592 four-socket/eight-core nodes and approximately 100 teraFLOPS of processing capacity to play with.

Appro reportedly won the deal against tier-one players.
