BBC NEWS | Technology | Supercomputer breaks speed record: "The US is poised to push Japan off the top of the supercomputing chart with IBM's prototype Blue Gene/L machine.
It is being assembled for the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories, a US Department of Energy lab (DOE).
DOE test results show that Blue Gene/L has managed speeds of 70.72 teraflops. The current top machine, Japan's NEC Earth Simulator, clocks up 35.86."
Those are some mighty fine-looking supercomputers, eh! I know I wouldn't mind dedicating a bedroom to house that kind of computing power. Woof!!!
