| | | | IBM will build a new supercomputer at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, USA. The supercomputer will consist of 16000 "standard" CPUs and 16000 Cell processors, each with 7 SPE's and one processor core. Each Cell CPU can make 256 billion calculations per second and combined the supercomputer will peak at 1.6 Petaflops or 1600 trillion calculations per second. The laboratory is owned by the US Department of Energy (DOE). Eventually the machine could be used for a programme that ensures the US nuclear weapons stockpile remains safe and reliable, the DOE said in a statement.
This machine will be four times faster than the current number one - Blue Gene/L.
