IBM's Sequoia: 20x faster than the world's fastest supercomputer
Engadget —
... Roadrunner? Pfff, your chart-topping 1.105 petaflops are laughable. IBM just announced its 20-freaking-petaflop Sequoia supercomputer due for delivery by 2012. While supercomputer speeds have steadily increased year-over-year, a 20x jump in calculations ...
IBM's Sequoia is 20x faster than the world's fastest supercomputer
DVICE Atom Feed —
... in an order for a new supercomputer from IBM, dubbed the Sequoia. What makes the Sequoia so special? Well, for starters it's about 20 times faster than the world's current fastest supercomputer. Yeah, it's pretty damned fast.
It's a 20 petaflop computer, and it's due in 2012. It'll use a total of 1.6 million cores assisted by 1.6 petabytes of memory to run calculations, most of which will simulate nuclear explosions. Also, I'm pretty sure it can run Crysis. Awesome.
