 Falling under the “Holy-crap-that’s-nuts” category,  IBM is exploring a 67.1m-core computer for running the entire Internet. The Register recently revealed a research paper detailing IBM working on a computing system capable "of hosting the entire internet as an application." The mega system is linked to a vamped up version of IBM's Blue Gene supercomputers, which are popular among the high performance crowd. Four of the 10 fastest supercomputers in the world rely on the Blue Gene architecture, including the world's very fastest machine: the Blue Gene/L at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. IBM researchers have proposed tweaking the Blue Gene systems to run today's most popular web applications such as Linux, Apache, MySQL and others.</p> </DIV>
