[Cray's] Cascade will be implemented as a series of steps. We currently support varied computing needs with a set of individually architected machines. In 2007, our follow-on machines [i.e. vector/Cray, scalar/AMD, FPGA/Xilinx] will be coupled together, creating a unified user environment and file system with the ability to launch applications on different processor types. [I'm guessing that the recently announced 1PFLOP 24K processor system, code name Baker, in 2008, mainly examplifies the scalar part of this. It's an intermediate step towards a larger goal:] The Cascade system, to be prototyped in 2010, will tightly integrate all the processing technologies into a single system and provide the adaptive software to make the underlying heterogeneous processing transparent to the user.

The words in between brackets above are mine. Do feel free to put me straight if I miss something important.

BTW, I guess this means that the Adams code name I heared previously might relate to the vector part. Together with Baker they might make up / evolve into Cascade.
