Red Storm and Top500

There is an interesting tidbit in Sandias pdf: Red Storms Architecture scales up to 30.000 CPU. That would propel Red Storm to #1 rank - at least in todays TOP500-list.

You know what my gut says? This is what they really intend to build next year already. I just cannot imagine U.S.A would miss the opportunity to take back the halo of this planet's fastest Supercomputer from Japan - for just 50 Mio bucks or so additional budget to expand Red Storm to 30.000 CPU.
