Still remember the road runner? The super computers belonging to the IBM 1026 has the speed calculation per second ..? 
Well, now IBM has created their new super computer. His name is Sequoia. This new super computer will have the ability to 20 petaflops per second. Like what calculation it? As an illustration. Roadrunner has the ability to process as much as 1026 quadrilion flop per second (approximately 1 Peta Flop per second). To illustrate the speed calculations are Road Runner,
This Roadrunner with extrem speed, if it can be described with the 6 billion people worldwide use the hand calculator and do the calculation for 24 hours a day and 7 days a week, it will take 46 years to be able to do the equivalent calculation can be done with that for 24 roadrunner watch. WOW!
nah, how about the Sequoia, the speed of processing 20 times faster than on the road runner. Or:
if 6 billion people worldwide use the hand calculator and do the calculation for 24 hours a day and 7 days a week, it will take 920 (46 × 20) years to be able to do the equivalent calculation can be done with Sequoia for 24 hours.
In addition to the calculations quickly, Sequoia also absorb energy very large. How big? Reuters seeing with energy equivalent to that required to support 200 million laptop. Insane !
Because the amount of energy absorbed, until the freeze-up to this Sequoia 96 Engine cooling is required (such as AC) are large to maintain optimum temperature fixed. And how big the size of this super computer? Latest I know the mark, a super computer to clear this requires room measuring 318 square meters of storage.
BTW, this super computer will be ready to be launched (planned) in the year 2011 and will be submitted to the U.S. Department of energy. Later most powerful computer in the world (until now) will be used to simulate nuclear testing, predict the weather better or for exploration oil.
