I hope this isn't a repeat. This is a joint project with the LHC. Excerpt:

Today, three weeks after the first particle beams were injected into the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid combines the power of more than 140 computer centers from 33 countries to analyze and manage more than 15 million gigabytes of LHC data every year.

Hmm, does it answer to "Skyenet"? ;-)

That is some impressive hardware. Just think what can be done with that much crunching power.
