"THE US DEPARMENT OF ENERGY (DoE) has thrown $325m at IBM and Nvidia to build the world's fastest supercomputers by 2017.

Dubbed Sierra and Summit, the two supercomputers are tipped to deliver more three times the performance of those currently available.

They are expected to perform at 100 petaflops and 150 petaflops, respectively, compared to the world's current top super-computer, the Intel-powered Tianhe-2, which performs at 55 petaflops.

This will be thanks to IBM's OpenPower chips and Nvidia's new Volta graphics chip, along with Mellanox's high-speed networking kit.

IBM is promising much-improved performance thanks its new data-centric architecture, which will embed compute power everywhere data resides in the system, allowing for a "convergence of analytics, modelling, visualization and simulation, driving new insights at incredible speeds.""

Hopefully consumer Volta will be out in 2016 ;)
