teraFLOPS(tera FLoating point OPerations per Second) One trillion floating point operations per second. IBM's BlueGene/L supercomputer, designed for computational science at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, was upgraded in 2007 from 65,536 to 106,496 processing nodes, where each added node had twice the memory of the old. The result for BlueGene/L: a peak speed of 596 teraFLOPS. How to thank TFD for its existence?

It is expected to deliver a peak performance of up to six teraflops, a ten-fold increase over the previous UIUC cluster it replaces. When fully installed, "Red Storm" will have peak performance of more than 40 teraflops (trillions of calculations per second) and is expected to be at least seven times more powerful on real-world applications than Sandia's current ASCI Red supercomputer. The only other countries with teraflops are China, Israel, Japan, and the United States. |
