You meant to say ASCI I'm guessing:

In all fairness I'd have to say it would probably only take 1/1000000000 of
that machine complex to do the same animation using a HF.  That's one
powerful machine there.   Wouldn't you just know it, they're putting it at a
nuclear lab for the purposes of weapon simulations (I think) instead of
running POV-Ray on it.
