It was a 2900+ processor IBM Power 4 system. I used to maintain it when I was with IBM. We turned it on at #9 on the top 500 list in 2004. It was a nice solid machine, it even stayed up for most of Katrina. Not sure I like another Kraken Supercomputer, but hey, name reuse is just a fact of life. Cheers.
