Fastest Supercomputer in the World
On June 20, 2011 the Top500 Supercomputing List released which Supercomuter was the fastest in the world: the K Computer. The "K Computer" lives at the Kobe's RIKEN Advanced Institute for Computational Science in Japan and was made by Fujitsu. "K is a cluster of 672 server cabinets filled with over 68,000 Fujitsu SPARC64 VIIIfx processors, with a combined processing punch 8.2 quadrillion calculations per second (8.2 petaflops)." (Quote from the New York Times.) For people like me who do not speak computer language, this computer is as fast as about a million desktop computers! It also uses the equivalent of about 10,000 houses worth of electricity!
