World's Fastest Computer

Titan

DID YOU KNOW THAT...

      Titan, a supercomputer, is the fastest computer in the world?

     The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory has just launched a new era of scientific supercomputing with Titan, a system capable of churning through more than 20,000 trillion calculations each second -- or 20

petaflops -- by employinga family of processors called graphic processing units first created for computer gaming. Titan will be 10 times more powerful than ORNL's last world-leading system, Jaguar, while overcoming power and space limitation inherent in the previous generation of high-performance computers.
