Hopper Among World’s Top 10 Fastest Computers
There are only 10 computers in the world with petaflops power—capable of calculating quadrillions of calculations in one second. According to the 37th edition of the Top500 List, the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center’s (NERSC’s) Cray XE6 “Hopper” system is one of them. All of the systems on the TOP500 List are ranked on how fast they run Linpack, a benchmark… Read More »
