theregister.co.uk — A research paper shows that IBM is working on a computing system capable "of hosting the entire internet as an application." This mega system relies on a re-tooled version of IBM's Blue Gene supercomputers to create a theoretical mega-system of 67.1m cores, 32PB of memory, and an IO output of 10.4Pb/s.

A computer like that could preprocess every action and do a look up when needed.

Are they really going to try to run the whole internet on one machine or are they saying that they could? This could be put to much more use.

I didn't say they WOULD put it all on one machine, I said that they might come up with some ideas on how to make money when they CAN.
