Petaflop Achieved

[Dechristo]

Roadrunner, which consumes roughly three megawatts of power, or about the power required by a large suburban shopping center, requires three separate programming tools because it has three types of processors. Programmers have to figure out how to keep all of the 116,640 processor cores in the machine occupied simultaneously in order for it to run effectively.

"The next thousandfold goal is the exaflop, which is a quintillion calculations per second, followed by the zettaflop, the yottaflop and the xeraflop." ...and then by the whatthefuckaflop.

 

Money is no object. Dis computa wil figure ouht da derivatives markit.

It wouldn't be the first time you were a flop at petting.

Which will ultimately result in... the wefuckedupaflop.
