New Supercomputer Accomplishes What Other Supercomputers Can't
kyrathaba:
A new contender has taken the prize for fastest supercomputer in the world.
Unveiled today at the Annual Meeting of National High Performance Computing (HPC China 2010) in Beijing, Tianhe-1A is the world’s fastest supercomputer with a performance record of 2.507 petaflops, as measured by the LINPACK benchmark.

Every time I see these announcements of the newest superest computer I can't help thinking of John C. Dvorak and the 80286 with the Chang Modification. Seems some dude made some genius modification to a 286 PC that allowed it to outperform 386 PCs with faster processors.
Turns out the guy just took the guts out of the benchmark. Sure put up a high number though!!!
