Anyone want a Pedaflop?

[yellowgoat]

The National Center for Computational Sciences (NCCS), located at Oak Ridge National Labs (ORNL) in Tennessee, has upgraded the Jaguar supercomputer to 1.64-petaflops for use by scientists and engineers working in areas such as climate modeling, renewable energy, materials science, fusion and combustion. The current upgrade is the result of an addition of 200 cabinets of the Cray XT5 to the existing 84 cabinets of the XT4 Jaguar system. Jaguar is now the world’s most powerful supercomputer available for open scientific research. A pedaflop is 1000 teraflops, and supercomputer nowhere near to getting a pedaflop machine. And the possibility of pedaflop computer will come in 5 years.

I have never heard of a Pedaflop! :r When I first heard the word I thought it was something really nasty! :r LOL

Will Notepad open any faster?

I understand this will be the recommended hardware when Windows 7 ships. :r

Of course it is obvious what a pedaflop is...1000 teraflops:hm

20 petaflops. faster than top 500 supercomputers combined.

Wonder if it'd be any quicker than my emachineflop? :confused:
