The first supercomputer capable of crunching through a thousand trillion mathematical operations every second has been announced by IBM.
This is roughly equivalent to the combined processing power of a 2.4-kilometre-high pile of laptop computers.
Blue Gene/P will be capable of a peak performance of 3000 trillion calculations, or floating point operations, per second (3 petaflops). But its sustained performance is expected to level out at around 1 petaflop.
So thats where all the company laptop go when we are finished with them!
