US scientists are building the world's largest supercomputer to run on Linux which, they claim, will be far more powerful than IBM's chess-playing Deep Blue machine.
The researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory are planning to build a supercomputer which consists of 962 nodes running on 1,920 Intel processors.
The boffins claim the machine will be seven times more powerful than Deep Blue, which beat Gari Kasparov at chess 1997.
The computer is being built for the US government for research purposes.
