So where in the top 500 list of supercomputers are IBM zSeries machines
? I can't find any. Top one is the IBM blue gene, and the second is an
SGI Altix at NASA. Plenty of other IBM's in the list ... all based on
POWER CPUs.

The IBM mainframes are definitely scaleable ... probably more scaleable
than SGI's, but in terms of I/O capacity.
