• A supercomputer from the United States military, roadrunner, built with the original components, designed for video game machines, and able to perform the calculation of data from more 1.026×1015 calculations per second. Roadrunner this price range USD 133 million and will be used to study nuclear weapons. Machines computer is twice faster than the previous fastest supercomputer, IBM BlueGene / L, which is in the laboratory LLN (Lawrence Livermore National), California.

    Super Computer roadrunner will referenced New Mexico City was built by engineers and scientists from IBM and Los Alamos National Laboratory, New Mexico. Super Computer used to solve military problems to ensure the supply of nuclear weapons will work with the national good. Roadrunner is able to simulate how nuclear weapons work in a small explosion. In addition to the military to solve problems, roadrunner can also be used to identify the problems of climate change. With high-speed, roadrunner can help scientists to test global climate accurately. Read more…
