6.27 Petaflops - Not fast but within the top 6
2013-11-20
The new supercomputer XC30 system at the University of Stuttgart, nicknamed Hornet, will be able to process a quadrillion mathematical calculations per second. The Hornet will be used at the UniversityÂ’s High Performance Computing Center Stuttgart, providing a useful tool for scientists and researchers in the automotive and aerospace industries.

“For a number of years now, we have worked in close collaboration with Cray to provide our researchers and scientists, as well as our industrial partners in the automotive and aerospace industries, with the computational resources of highly advanced supercomputing systems,” said Prof. Dr. Michael M. Resch, director of HLRS. “Reliability, performance, support and customer service are vitally important to us, and Cray and its supercomputers continue to meet the requirements of our organization and our vast user community.”

#3  I don't think even that Chinese Tianhe-2 supercomputer (currently the fastest in the world at 33.86 petaflops) can sort thru that mess.

As designed. (the HHS mess that is...)

#2  You don't suppose they might try to sort through the rubble over at HHS with this thing?
