World's Fastest Supercomputer is Truly a 'Titan'

Maximum PC: The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory today announced the completion of Titan, a supercomputer capable of processing more than 20,000 trillion calculations per second. That's equivalent to 20 petaflops, which is 10 times more powerful than Jaguar, ORNL's previous flagship supercomputer. All that power will be put to use to research energy, climate change, efficient engines, materials, and to play Crisis. Wait, what? (Hi-tech, PC hardware, supercompter, Titan Supercomputer)

Finally I can run Crysis at 4K, 600fps, with 100x AA!

On a serious note though. 40 years ago computers these size were less powerful than a smartphone.

Makes you wonder if in another 40 years we'll carry this beast in our pocket.

It's still weaker than the Cell Processor which cures cancer.
