Jun 09, 2008
The US Government just unveiled the fastest computer ever created (the human brain excluded). This computer is twice the speed of the previous IBM Blue Genie and cost over $100 Million dollars.
To put the processing power in perspective, Thomas P. D’Agostino of the National Nuclear Security Administration said that if all 6 billion people on Earth entered calculations on a calculator for 24 hours a day, seven days per week it would take 46 years to do what Roadrunner can do in one day.
