10 Computer World's Most Sophisticated

This is one of the main symbol The advantage of the nations most advanced in the world. The machines of the future. The most powerful machines in the world capable of performing the most complex calculations, only the blink of an eye.

Of monitoring the readiness and resilience of American nuclear weapons, weather forecasting and earthquake with high precision, mapping the human genome is very complex, and certainly accelerate the development acceleration potential new technologies.

How fast is the speed of these machines? The fastest supercomputer in the world is now in the giant Los Alamos Laboratory New Mexico, USA, the company created by IBM, and is called "Roadrunner". Velocity has penetrated one Petaflop on May 25, 2008.

1 Petaflops, not 1 million calculations per second, not 1 billion calculations per second, and, instead of 1 trillion calculations per second. 1 Petaflop, is a quadrillion calculations per second, or 1,000 trillion calculations, per second. Roadrunner is targeted to reach a top speed of 1.7 Petaflops.


1 Teraflops = 1 trillion calculations per second
1 Petaflops = 1,000 trillion operations per second


Roadrunner Computer is 60,000 times faster than today's fastest personal computer. It costs about U.S. $ 133 million. One interesting fact, this supercomputer has a cell structure that was almost the same as the children's toy computer, Playstation 3. Roadrunner uses processor Cell Broadband Engine ™ or Cell BE created by IBM, Sony, and Toshiba are also used for the Playstation, though of course with a "little" new modifications.

Here's a list of the fastest computers in the world. The least known to the public. Many people believe there is a secret computers owned by the U.S. government whose whereabouts are not known, and its speed even much faster than Roadrunner ..

10 Fastest Computers in the World:

9 out of 10 fastest computers in the world are American-owned. The 10th fastest computer in the world, Dawning 5000, is China's super computer. The computer is in the Shanghai Supercomputer Center (SSC), developed by more than 500 Chinese scholars, and the cost is only 1/4 of Roadrunner, which is about U.S. $ 30 million.
