Road runner


Road runner is the first and only supercomputer in the world that executing more than 1 quadrillion (1,000 trillion) floating point operations per second, a computation rate otherwise known as 1 petaflop. It is built by IBM at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, USA.

The customer configuration of road runner uses two IBM QS22 blade servers which are combined into a specialized "tri-blade" configuration. Each tri-blade unit can handle 400 billion instructions per second (400 Gigaflops). In total, Roadrunner has 3,456 tri-blades.

The memory of the road runner is 80 terabytes is housed in 288 refrigerator-sized, IBM Blade Center racks taking up 6,000 square feet. Roadrunner has several 10,000 connections which use both Infiniband and Gigabit Ethernet for achieve the high data rate for the system.

Roadrunner uses a first-of-a-kind design, the Cell Broadband Engine which provides very high processing ability. The engine will work in conjunction with AMD's x86 processors.
Roadrunner's speed is roughly equivalent to the combined computing power of 100,000 of today's fastest laptop computers which is a very high power. As an example assume that each human (6 billion people) perform a calculation at a second which take 46 years to do what Roadrunner can do in one day

joke - Ten question to Bill Gates

Subject: Problems with my new computer


Dear Mr. Bill Gates,
We have bought a computer for our home and we have found some problems, which I want to bring to your notice.

1. There is a button 'start' but there is no 'stop' button. We request you to check this.

2. We find there is 'Run' in the menu. One of my friends clicked 'run' he ran up to Amritsar ! So, we request you to change that to 'sit', so that we can click that by sitting.

3. One doubt is whether any 're-scooter' is available in system? I find only 're-cycle', but I own a scooter at my home.

4. There is 'Find' button but it is not working properly. My wife lost the door key and we tried a lot trace the key with this ' find' button, but was unable to trace. Please rectify this problem.

5.. My child learnt 'Microsoft word' now he wants to learn 'Microsoft sentence', so when you will provide that?

6. I brought computer, CPU, mouse and keyboard, but there is only one icon which shows 'MY Computer': when you will provide the remaining items?

7. It is surprising that windows says 'MY Pictures' but there is not even a single photo of mine. So when will you keep my photo in that.

8. There is 'MICROSOFT OFFICE' what about 'MICROSOFT HOME' since I use the PC at home only.

9. You provided 'My Recent Documents'. When you will provide 'My Past Documents'?

10. You provide 'My Network Places'. For God shake please do not provide 'My Secret Places'. I do not want to let my wife know where I go after my office hours.

Regards,
Banta

Last one from me to Mr Bill Gates :

Sir, how is it that your name is Gates but u are selling WINDOWS?
