[Gllug] Re: Super Computing Time

[dennis furey]

A clock frequency of 560 GHz implies a period of 1.78E-12 seconds,
during which a clock signal propagating at the speed of light (2.998E8
m/s) covers about half a millimeter. Anyone who can squeeze all that
gear into a space smaller than that might be a pretty good physicist
already. ;)
