*Just had to finish a little code beforehand*
1) *Not checking Samuel Cray background*
2) define:exertanium?
3) define:zero-point-engine?
4) Cooling system at the bottem?  Heat rises
5) The Cell proccessor is based on having two proccessing cores as I recall.  I'm not sure whether the Cell proccessors are used in the PSP for graphic rendering.  In a normal PC, there is a separate proccessor called the GPU to handle 3D rendering (as in vector rendering)
6)"little space given over to cooling systems and empty-space" If this was supercomputer was running such a large vector program such as Lyoko, external liquid cooling would be far from enough.  The proccessors near the center would have melted in no time
7) "This replicates the processing functions of a brain" AKA Neural Network 
8) "In ‘Routine’ XANA corrupted several of the logic-boards in a bank assigned to the Virtualisation/Devirtualisation process." XANA corrupted the program. The program may have been stored in the memory of the card Jeremie was trying to remove.
9) define:NUMA-system (Non-Uniform-Memory-Access)? Trying to access memory in different ways?  I think you are talking about RAM (Random Access Memory), where any address in memory can be retrieved at any time
10) define:Rapid-Single-Flux-Quantum?  A quantium computer is dependant on the idea that matter can be represented in multiple states.  Meaning that the matter could be 77% there or 42% there.  This would have an enormous advantage over binary logic (AKA current).  Neither the current or quantium technology is based on "voltage levels" on mass storage devices.
11)"electrical impulses (the smallest electrical pulses known to man as a matter of fact, the lowest Quanta of energy"  Electrical = electrons, a quanta is the absolute smallest amount of energy theoretically possible.  Not the same
12) define:Josephson Junctions? 
13)"in many supercomputers the processor often runs at a speed the rest of the system" Meaning the parallel proccessing gives it more then the computer needs?  In a normal computer the CPU is controled by the system clock which times the rest of the system too so there isn't a waste.  Even if the CPU goes faster then the rest of the computer it isn't neccessarily bad, the L1 cache gives the CPU space to work with so it can perform mathematical computations without having to wait for external I/O read/writes
14) define:SAP?
15) define:ZPS?
Eh there are a bit too many holes for me to give a good summary, sorry
