The world's fastest computer built by Playstation 3-parts
We speek alot about how to speed up your computer with a registry cleaner, here is a interesting news for you. The latest supercomputer from IBM manages more than a thousand trillioner calculations per second, which is more than twice as fast as today's fastest supercomputer Blue Gene / L, which is also designed by IBM, writes BBC News.
In total, use Blue Gene / L 212 992 processors, while the new supercomputer - which goes under the name Roadrunner - will contain about 20 000 fewer processors. The fact that it is possible due to the new computer is a so-called hybrid, using both traditional processors and the powerful Cell processors used in the Sony Playstation 3.
Cell processors consists of eight grains and can work at speeds more than four gigahertz. They were developed in a collaboration between including IBM, Sony and Toshiba. Processus have been modified to fit the new supercomputer and to increase the amount of information that can be processed. Here comes the hybrid technology into its own. The usual processors handle regular data, while the Cell processors will handle the more difficult and more unstructured calculations.
We can soon, simulate the world
The new supercomputer will be installed in a laboratory in the United States later this year to among other things, keep track of the U.S. stocks of nuclear fuel. The computer will also be used for research in astronomy, genetics and climate change.
-We will further be able to simulate the world, "said a spokesman from IBM to BBC News.
The fastest computer in Sweden called Cluster Platform 3000 BL460c, working in a tenth of what the new supercomputer will be able to deal with.
