***Faster Than A Speeding Bullet ***
What has 9,200 Pentium(r) Pro processors, is faster than a speeding
bullet and simulates a kilometer-wide comet striking the Atlantic
Ocean in its free time? The answer is the Intel TFLOPS
Supercomputer, which broke the world's fastest computing record by
calculating 1.34 trillion operations per second (teraflops) (making
it faster than a speeding bullet). By the time a bullet travels one
foot, the computer will have completed 667 million calculations.
