A supercomputer with the processing power of two million laptops is to be built by IBM for the US government to help manage its nuclear arsenal.
IBM announced it was developing the technology for its “Sequoia” system, which will be easily the fastest computer on the planet, with delivery to the Department of Energy (DOE) scheduled in 2011.
According to IBM, Sequoia will be able to achieve performance speeds of up to 20 petaflops or 20,000 trillion calculations a second.
Twenty petaflops of computing power is the equivalent to 3 million computations for every human on the planet per second.
It would take 120 billion people – almost 20 times as many people as there are on Earth – using calculators nearly 50 years to process what Sequoia could achieve in a single day.
Jhony 5?
Los locos kick your ass. Los locos kick your face. Los locos kick your balls INTO OUTER SPACE!
IDF ??? AMERICA STILL TAKIN DICKS BY ISREAL STILL ?
i wonder how long it’ll be before skynet uses these to purge the human virus from the cosmos?

You have 30 seconds to comply.
You have 20…..
…….10…9..
8..7…6….5…your dead.
America gave Israel some shitty robots that shoot shotguns. Cool.
they be sappin my sentry
For the cost of that robot, I could field a platoon of trained, rottwieler riding, grenade flinging attack monkeys.
@...SumoSnipe: did we had a little chat about using my family for your ravishing stories?
Skynet unavailable for comment.
@...ColombianMonkey: you trying to change our agreement? We did settle on 10% each, with the survivors splitting the rest of the loot.
MarkV was Master Chiefs suit in the original halo.
@natedog: wrong movie allusion. A computer taking over our nuclear arsenal would be Collosus:the Forbin Project, not Terminator.
great, USA builds Combat Robots
Jews use Combat Robots to murder Muslim babies
and get away with it by claiming the operating systems are faulty
@...SumoSnipe: I personally recommend baboons, but mandrills will also do nicely. Also, each baboon must be trained to wield knives.
@...Silverwolf: nah. The baboons are a different unit. Behind the the lines skirmishing.
