New Cray supercomputer is the fastest in the world
DVICE Atom Feed — ... want to see an impressive computer? Say hello to the Cray XT Jaguar supercomputer. It's got some pretty mind-blowing specs: 45,000 quad-core Opteron processors, 362TB of RAM, and a 10PB (petabyte) storage array. The whole thing cooks along at a serious 1.64 petaflops. It's the fastest machine on earth being used for non-classified research, but you've got to assume there are even bigger and badder machines in the deep, secret halls of government.
