Japan to build world's fastest supercomputer
Japan wants to develop a supercomputer that can operate at 10 petaflops, or 10 quadrillion calculations per second, which is 73 times faster than the world's fastest supercomputer - Blue Gene. Coming in just under one billion dollars this super computer will be a contract that all chipmakers will be trying to get!
Kyodo News reported that the total amount for the project is estimated between 80 billion and 100 billion yen ($714 million to $893 million) and hopes to complete the next-generation supercomputer sometime in fiscal 2010, which ends in March 2011. The ministry wants to use the planned supercomputer for a wider use such as simulating the formation of galaxy and the interactions between a medicine and the human body.
