NEC launches fastest supercomputer

Japanese electronics giant NEC Corp., said on Wednesday it has begun selling the world´s fastest supercomputer.
NEC claimed its SX-8 is the most powerful ´vector-type´ supercomputer, with a sustainable data processing speed well beyond IBM´s recently unveiled Blue Gene/L supercomputer.
In September IBM said its Blue Gene/L supercomputer had surpassed NEC´s Earth Simulator to become the world´s most powerful supercomputer.
IBM´s Blue Gene/L is capable of a sustained data processing speed of 36.01 teraflops, or one trillion floating point operations per second.
NEC said its newest SX series model has a peak processing speed of 65 teraflops and a sustainable performance of roughly 90 percent that speed or 58.5 teraflops.
The NEC and IBM supercomputers are different in structure. NEC says its SX-8, because of its vector architecture, " delivers much higher sustained performance than scalar supercomputers" like IBM´s Blue Gene/L.
" We have received 100 orders so far," with the first models to be shipped to the UK´s national weather forecasting service and the High Performance Computing Centre in Stuttgart, Germany, NEC managing director Tadao Kondo said.
The Tokyo-based electronics maker aims to sell or rent 700 models in the first three years.
The monthly rental fee for the SX-8 is a minimum ¥1.17 million ( $US10,730) and the purchase price is ¥130 million.
Supercomputers are widely used to develop complex products like new airplanes, automobiles and drugs
De plus, les specs qu´il a postées sur son site sont fausses : ce serait en effet Nintendo jouant le jeu de ses concurrents, en augmentant les specs. Ainsi, personne ne pourra blâmer la Revo d´être moins puissante que la PS3...
De plus, il dit que les images sur son site sont ce que la Revo peut afficher, mais pas des images de jeux à venir.
Une vidéo de Xenias ( eh oui, encore ce jeu ) sera montrée au cours de la semaine prochaine.
Wait & See donc.
