IT Portal says that Los Alamos National Laboratory has their Roadrunner supercomputer to 1.026 petaflops thanks to 7000 Opterons and nearly 13,000 cell processors. It is nice to see the Cell can do something besides make Playstation 3s run hot. The supercomputer, dubbed Roadrunner, packs in nearly 13,000 IBM Cell Processors which are used by millions of Playstation 3 gamers as well as 7000 Opteron Processors made by AMD and will be twice as fast as Blue Gene, which held the title of world fastest computer till now. |
