Quote:
A teraflop is a measure of a computer's speed and can be expressed as:

* A trillion floating point operations per second
* 10 to the 12th power floating-point operations per second
* 2 to the 40th power flops

Today's fastest parallel computing operations are capable of teraflop speeds. Scientists have begun to envision computers operating at petaflop speeds.

A petaflop is a measure of a computer's processing speed and can be expressed as:

* A thousand trillion floating point operations per second (FLOPS)
* A thousand teraflops
* 10 to the 15th power FLOPS
* 2 to the 50th power FLOPS

I wanna see them upgrade the whole thing to intel in a few years!

And it would be great to see one of those 14659.088723.78 terrorflop computers grow obsolete in five years of development!

I'll proberly have more computing power at home in ten years so what are these guys thinking!?

We went from:

to

something like this:

Posted Image, might have been reduced in size. Click Image to view fullscreen.

in little over thirty years...

...and I still think pong is more fun, but that aside, we are losing the race against technology and I guess these 'supercomputers' are a real waste of time and money!

Hug a tree,

Alex.

Thanks Carlo, I thought a Terraflop was the term used to describe the Apple Lisa Razz
