Top 500
The first PetaFLOPS computer has made it onto the Top 500 list, ending the 3 year reign of BlueGene as the fasting computer. In fact, the average speed of the top 10 increased by 116%, the second fastest increase since the list started in 1993. What's even more impressive is that the total FLOPS computed by the top 500 increased by nearly 68%, the highest increase ever. Three hundred of the computers that were on the list last November are no longer on the list, unless they were upgraded.
The new top computer, Roadrunner, can compute more FLOPS (floating-point integers per second) than the the entire Top 500 list from June 2004.
