The Titan
The super computer "Titan" was crowned the fastest computer, weeks after it's debut. The computer was crowned in Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee (US). The one-hundred million dollar machine earned it's spot in the top 500 in the world. The computer has a speed of 17.59 petaflops, and a Cray XK7 system. It contains of 200 cabinets, 18,688 compute nodes, each one containing high-powered processors, 299,008 cores, and Gemini interconnect. This provides the computer the ability to remotely direct memory access.
Although it isn't complete, it can reach speeds of 20 petaflops (above) and calculations of 20,000 trillion per second. It can allow scientists from everywhere to research, and more including astrophysics, and unparalleled accuracy. Titan is the first to utilize hybrid architecture, conventional 16-core AMD Operton CPU s and NVIDIA Tesla K20 GPU accelerators. The combination of these two allow the Titan and other future models to overcome power and space limitations. When the Titan is actually complete, it will reach speeds of over 20 petaflops, and calculations of over 20,000 trillion per second. Titan's system is 10 times as fast as the Jaguar computer, and it would still be among the top without the GPU s or CPU s. For more info on this topic, visit this site.
