Yes, Argonne National Lab (ANL) announced in April it will purchase a 
large Cray system as part of the CORAL intitative at a price of $200 
million. Expected performance is 180 PFLOPs.

Interesting, ANL has long been an IBM shop (Intrepid, Mira) and ORNL has 
been a Cray shop (Jaguar, Titan)  but that's switching with the CORAL 
purchases. I guess they want to keep their admins and developers on 
their toes.
