Any business grappling with unwieldy scalability should visit a federal lab sometime soon. Engineers at Los Alamos National Laboratory process unprecedented amounts of information, but they can't afford to rest on their laurels. In two years, their requirements will probably increase more than tenfold.

For the lab, a teraflop represents a trillion floating point operations per second. These mathematical representations of operations complete little segments of military weapons-testing simulations. This week, Los Alamos will support 20 teraflop simulations processing information at speeds of 20-Gbytes per second.
