I definitely have nationalistic sentiments when it comes to stuff like this. America yeah!

Also I have huge amounts of respect for IBM as a company. One of those places that steadily manages to continue innovating for over a century.
 
Sequoia will be used to help the National Nuclear Security Administration simulate nuclear explosions down to the molecular scale, and potentially assist in such areas as climate modeling and studying the dynamic changes in a protein's shape.

Sigh.
World's fastest supercomputer, and it's primary use is weapon's related. I sure hope they throw some protein folding its way in-between the nuclear blast simulations.

We could be simulating colliding black holes or something. It would be cool.
