New Petaflop computer
Supercomputer sets petaflop pace

A supercomputer built with components designed for the Sony PlayStation 3 has set a new computing milestone.

The IBM machine, codenamed Roadrunner, has been shown to run at "petaflop speeds", the equivalent of one thousand trillion calculations per second.



The benchmark means the computer is twice as nimble as the current world's fastest machine, also built by IBM.

Phoar - Wouldn't mind one myself really

If anyone had access to that, surely they would want to try a couple of benchmarks?

Well I want to see it run 3 games at the same time.

And I bet you it doesn't need a dedicated GPU 'cos it uses all that CPU power to replace it.

Nope, they just wanted to run crysis at a decent FPS on their new 30" monitor with anti aliasing...totally justified if you ask me.
