"Today consumers use microprocessors with two and four cores, however in the coming years, the numbers of cores on a microprocessor will continue to grow, launching an era of vastly more powerful computers, as demonstrated by the '
Teraflop Research Chip'", stated Samir Al Schamma, Intel general manager, GCC.
Nasa's Columbia is reportedly capable of reaching speeds of 42.7
teraflops in benchmarking tests.
"This is another
teraFLOP system for Linux NetworX, showing our commitment to leading Linux clusters into the next era of supercomputing."
The Japan Marine Science & Technology Center said Thursday its parallel supercomputer ''Earth Simulator'' at its research institute in Yokohama has logged the world's fastest computing speed of 35.61
teraflops.
In 1989 I described the situation in high-performance computers in science and engineering, including several parallel architectures that could deliver
teraflop power by 1995, but with no price constraint [2].
These high-density platforms deliver
teraflop performance with greatly reduced cost and space requirements.
In 1989, Bell envisioned a state of high performance computing that could deliver
teraflop power by 1995.
Sony may not have a 6
teraflop console but it does have one advantage - a slew of triple A first party games including God of War, The Last of Us 2 and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy to name a few.
