Largest FPGA-based “Supercomputer”

HPC Wire has an article about how SGI has built what is supposedly the world’s largest FPGA-based supercomputer. I didn’t even realize they had built *any* FPGA-based supercomputers. This crazy machine is actually a nework of 70 FPGAs. Seems to me an awful lot like building a tank out of Legos just because you might want to make it twice as tall and half as wide next Wednesday.
