Best Answer

Most of the fastest 100 computers in the world can execute 5 Trillion (5,000,000,000,000) floating point operations per second (FLOPS)

The new Fastest Supercomputer, the IBM Roadrunner, just achieved 1 PetaFLOPS (1 quadrillion - 1,000,000,000,000,000 computations per second in early June, 2008)

The actual measured speed was 1.047 PetaFLOPS.

However, it is still being built - and should achieve 1.7 PetaFLOPS by the end of 2008.

How much does a business supercomputer cost?

There is no such thing as a business supercomputer. Supercomputers were designed for solving scientific, engineering, and code breaking problems that required very involved and repetitive calculations and little input/output. Business computers were designed to do simple calculations that required more input/output than calculations.
