Fastest Supercomputer Gets Faster, BBC News
 









Excerpts:     

Blue Gene snatched the crown from Japan in November
   Blue Gene/L, the fastest supercomputer in the world, has broken its own speed
record, reaching 135.5 teraflops - 135.5 trillion calculations a second. (...)

 It did 70.72 teraflops last year to beat Japan's NEC Earth Simulator.(...)

 Its peak theoretical performance is expected to be 360 teraflops, with the
machine taking up 64 full racks.
 Blue Gene's new record was achieved by doubling the number of current racks to
32. Each rack holds 1,024 processors, yet the chips are the same as those found
in high-end computers on the High Street.
