Fastest computer
Washington: A computer designed to run virtual tests of US
nuclear weapons will be the world's fastest making 1,000 trillion calculations
per second, the US Department of Energy said on Monday.
The IBM
Roadrunner supercomputer at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico is the
first to achieve what is known as a petaflop of sustained performance, the
department said.
"Flop" is an acronym meaning floating-point operations
per second. One petaflop is 1,000 trillion computer calculations per second.
"Roadrunner will not only play a key role in maintaining the US nuclear
deterrent, it will also contribute to solving our global energy challenges, and
open new windows of knowledge in the basic scientific research fields," it
added. "To put this into perspective, if each of the 6 billion people on earth
had a hand calculator and worked together on a calculation 24 hours per day, 365
days a year, it would take 46 years to do what Roadrunner would do in one day,"
it said. Reuters
