BlueGene/L Still World’s Fastest Supercomputer: 136.8 teraflops

By

When the BlueGene/L supercomputer is finished I wonder what the electric bill is for one month with all 65,536 processors are running at 100% usage.

IBM’s BlueGene/L took the top spot for the second time largely because its processing capacity doubled in size since the last list was drawn up.

When it is finished the machine will use 65,536 processors to tackle problems such as molecular dynamics, metrial modelling as well as turbulence and instability in hydrodynamics.
