Quick fail It does not meet the good prose criterion of good articles. "Titan is an upgrade of Jaguar, a previous supercomputer at Oak Ridge, to use graphics processing units (GPUs) in addition to conventional central processing units (CPUs)." Kiefer.Wolfowitz 21:46, 13 July 2013 (UTC)

I was swamped and could not address the issues raised in the previous FAC in time. I will be able to attend to any concerns now and I believe I have already addressed those raised in the previous FAC. I have tried to use American spelling throughout, so please pick up on any British words used as I speak British-English. James086 16:16, 13 July 2013 (UTC)

A couple of initial concerns:
  • "Titan is an upgrade of Jaguar, a previous supercomputer at Oak Ridge, to use graphics processing units (GPUs) in addition to conventional central processing units (CPUs)." "an upgrade... to use..." - there's something missing here.
  • "Titan is available for any purpose" - I'm no expert, but this seems unlikely. Could I request that Titan run programs? Or a hostile intelligence agency? A criminal gang? etc. (NB: um, not that I'm a foreign spy or a criminal!)
  • "Although Titan is available for use by any project, the requests for use exceeded the computing time available, so selection criteria were drawn up." - the tense changes here.
  • "Thirty-one codes will be run on Titan throughout 2013, typically four or five at any one time. The code of many projects had to be modified to suit the GPU processing of Titan, but each code was required to still be capable of running on CPU-based systems so that the projects were not solely dependent on Titan." Again, a strange change in tense. Hchc2009 (talk) 19:43, 13 July 2013 (UTC)
