One of the most interesting CPU/Network designs underway atm is the SKA project.
The network is scaled to 8 petabytes, which if my old networking days means anything, about 40% of capacity. They have two 100 petaflops computers online (Oz/S. Africa) and expect about 600 Petabytes processed data a year. The support for all of that is amazing as well...
The glossy stuff doesn't talk about MTBF but that would be interesting to know as that is a prod buttock network.
