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.

Which computer is super fast computer in 2014?

In June 2014 the world's fastest supercomputer was Tianhe-2, a supercomputer developed by China's National University of Defense Technology. This checked out at 33.86 Pflop/s (quadrillions of calculations per second) on the Linpack benchmark.


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.


What are mathematical instructions that perform calculations?

Formulas are mathematical instructions that perform calculations.


How many hours did it take supercomputer to calculate?

The amount of time it takes a supercomputer to perform calculations can vary significantly based on the complexity of the task and the specific supercomputer used. For instance, some simulations or computations can take just a few hours, while others may require days, weeks, or even longer to complete. Specific examples, such as those used in climate modeling or genomic sequencing, can illustrate the vast differences in processing times. Overall, the duration depends on the computational requirements and the hardware capabilities of the supercomputer.


Can a supercomputer simply be a massive collection of networked computers?

No - a supercomputer is a single device or system (although fast and expensive). A massive collection of networked computers can give the results of a supercomputer but they would not be considered one.

What is a supercomputer, and what does it do?

A supercomputer uses numerical simulations to perform physical processes, in lieu of performing those processes in real life. Supercomputers are able to create electronic simulations to determine the real world impact.


How can I go about renting supercomputer time for my computational needs?

To rent supercomputer time for your computational needs, you can contact specialized companies or research institutions that offer this service. They will provide you with access to their supercomputers for a fee, allowing you to run your complex calculations and simulations efficiently.
