I'm a bit excited about this:

New supercomputer going up at NERSC that will consist of over 19,000 2.6GHz AMD Opteron cores (9.5k dual-core CPU's). Anyway, I'm hoping to have some fun putting these beasts into action for my own projects in the coming year It'll be quite interesting thinking of ways to make use of more than a couple dozen processors...
And just for a sense of scale, this might be compared to NERSC's current largest supercomputer, Seaborg, which contains just over 6,000 300MHz PowerPC cores, or Jacquard, which I worked on last, which contains 712 2.2GHz Opteron CPU's. I'm rather excited about having this much more processing power with which to do work
