World is nothing without computers today. But some sectors need very high speed applications, so what is their solution ? The answer to that problem is Super Computers. Several computer manufacturing majors have come out with super computers. But one such amazing super computer has been manufacturedby IBM named BlueGene/L (Livemore system).
BlueGene has an inbuilt interface of around 128k processors and is capable of processing 360 TeraFLOPS per second. The best part is that, all these operations happen at the cost of 1 watt. All supercomputers will be able to process a minimum of 1 TeraFLOP. IBM has now formed a research team that is on the verge of building a super computer that would be able to process 100 TeraFLOPS.
Super computers are generally, huge in size and occupy a large amount of space. Every major spends billions of dollars in R&D to develop these super computers. Hence, super computers have made the complications more simpler and has benefited us in many ways.
