As a follow up for anyone who is interested, I found some information in a wiki article of all places:
"The GFDL operates various-sized SGI Altix 3700 and 4700 supercomputers with a total processor count of over 5,000. Hardware updates occur on average, every 18 months. Some impressive information from the Altix website, concerning the 4000 series: " It supports up to 512 processors under one instance of Linux and as much as 128TB of globally shared memory."
"The GFDL has been utilizing High Performance Computing Systems for 50 years. A brief portion of that history can be found on the top 500 supercomputing list".
