IBM Claims Computer Speed Title

Dubbed the Blue Gene/L supercomputer, IBM's new system nudges past a nearly three-year-old computer speed record of 35.86 "teraflops," or trillions of calculations per second, with a working speed of 36.01 teraflops.

IBM's figures have not been verified by an outside party. But Horst Simon, one of four people responsible for publishing a respected tally of the world's 500 fastest supercomputers, said IBM typically offers conservative estimates of its system performances. "I trust [IBM's] numbers," he said.

Lawrence Livermore lab has a "never-ending appetite" for computational power to help model molecular and nuclear behavior, Turek said. "Actually they need a pedaflop," he said, referring to a system capable of performing a quadrillion, or 1,000,000,000,000,000 calculations a second. "But we're getting there."

Damn, that is fast.

They should download Seti.

how much

And something tells me Doom 3 will still suck on that setup.

LOL.

 

[tedtropy]

Yeah, but it's probably running S3 integrated video or something. Teh suX0rz!

Finally, with this computer, those PS2 emulators will work.

 

[clipunderground]

I have one of those. It makes the grafiks are awesome!11 I run doom 3 at 600fps without a video card!!.

This has got to be in teh Revolution OMGLOLZ!!!11!
