From the department of similes that make no sense
If there’s an equivalent to Mount Rushmore in the computing world, then it sits at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.Sighting Nehalem and Dawn in the Wild In what sense do they mean this? Rushmore is a monument to dead presidents, while even by the article's description LNL is home to some of the most current (and analogously living) super computers. LNL is more like the White House, the senate, or the University of Chicago economics department than it is like Mt. Rushmore.
