Thanks Mamy... Neither CRAY nor OSMIC show up in Chambers.co.uk or Dictionary.com! Where do you get these answers from (apart from your brain!)? I wouldn't have thought of looking up PETAFLOP for computer :-)
Well, once I had Osmic (link below) I searched for the Super Computer with the remaining letters.

No , I looked up 'Cray'

CRAY HISTORY
Cray Inc. builds upon a rich history that extends back to 1972, when the legendary Seymour Cray, the "father of supercomputing," founded Cray Research. R&D and manufacturing were based in his hometown of Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin; business headquarters were in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
obsessive person- WONK about, I think.
