Top 500
Top500, a site that updates a list of the fastest supercomputers every six months, came out with its lasted update. Between November 2004 and today, the fastest supercomputer has nearly doubled from 70.72 to 136.8 teraflops. The low mark has increased from .85 to 1.166 teraflops. I did not expect such a massive change in just six months. Twelve years ago, when the list started, the fastest computer was only 59.7 gigaflops. I wonder how fast my computer is.

I love that the unit is "flops."
I see a gymnastic coach:
"NOW! Before you go home, you will give me 1 MEGAFLOP!"
*Whiny kids whine*
"HEY! DON'T MAKE ME MAKE IT A GIGAFLOP!"
*Kids begrudgingly begin flopping around the room in various contorted floppy shapes.*
