I know a little about Inpharmatica -
I met Paul Callejo, who installed their original cluster,
and have been at meetings where two people from the company have
given talks,
the most recent being "New Science from High Performance Computing"
at the Royal Society.

But, err, Inpharmatica have never claimed to have the world's
largest cluster. And if they did they wouldlook fools.

Just think of the ASCI series at Los Alamos, LLNL, Sandia....

And the big clusters installed and going in at Fermilab, CERN etc.
