IBM has prepared a white paper [ [http://domino.research.ibm.com/comm/research_projects.nsf/pages/kittyhawk.index.html/$FILE/Kittyhawk%20OSR%2008.pdf IBM White Paper] ] detailing the project. The Kittyhawk will be based on the previously developed IBM supercomputer called BlueGene/P. In theory the Kittyhawk will have up to 16,384 racks, providing a maximum of 67.1 million cores with 32 PB (32 PiB) of memory.
