http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roadrunner_(supercomputer)

IBM machine, codenamed Roadrunner, is built at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in the US.

The new machine will be able to achieve "petaflop speeds". One petaflop is the equivalent of 1,000 trillion calculations per second.

Running at peak speed, it will be able to crunch through 1.6 thousand trillion calculations per second.

:cool:
 
The computer may be used for simulating how nuclear materials age and whether the aging nuclear weapon arsenal of the United States is safe and reliable.

Can think of better uses. :D

Yeah, like getting the best 3dmark score!!

:)
 
Think you mean PCMark. They never said anything about what graphics capability it had. :)

PS - OP link fixed. I'm feeling nice tonight. :)
 
they should use that processing power to develop a better processer. after all, if you got that much processing power you can take into account so many variables and what not that it shouldnt take long to design a whole new processor thats better then anything else.

either that or calculate every single question ever that can get 42 as an answer.
