20 trillion calculations per second
 
"That kind of computational capability?almost unimaginable?is on par with each of the world?s 7 billion people being able to carry out 3 million calculations per second."

Quote:

The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory has just launched a new era of scientific supercomputing with Titan, a system capable of churning through more than 20,000 trillion calculations each second -- or 20 petaflops -- by employing a family of processors called graphic processing units first created for computer gaming. That kind of computational capability?almost unimaginable?is on par with each of the world?s 7 billion people being able to carry out 3 million calculations per second. Titan will be 10 times more powerful than ORNL's last world-leading system, Jaguar, while overcoming power and space limitations inherent in the previous generation of high-performance computers.
Titan, which is supported by the Department of Energy, will provide unprecedented computing power for research in energy, climate change, efficient engines, materials and other disciplines and pave the way for a wide range of achievements in science and technology.

Will it be the iPhone 9 or 10 that is faster?

Do they use such comps to the max? if not why they make it

Used for what?

Pretty amazing when you put it in that context. Wow!

MarkDeus 10-30-2012 07:33 AM

only 700TB?

Just a matter of time before computers can think and they in turn will build even faster smarter computers and will no longer need man. It is the natural evolution of the planet.

I'm inclined to agree and they use that shit for situational analysis.

the raw power is not that important. important are algorithms.

Imagine the bitcoins that thing could mine. It'd disrupt the whole bitcoin concept?

I need Fatfoo to explain this to me more clearly...

That is sick. Finally, a computer that can decently render CRYSIS 2

NPR ran a story on that cray computer today

7bil x 3mil = 21 tril ?

Math science failure for sciencedaily

21 Quadrillion?

I'm sure this will be used only for good things.
