According to this article the Roadrunner supercomputer has now reached a Petaflop. Although it doesn’t sound like an official benchmark result yet, given that the International Supercomputing Conference starts in a week I guess the timing of the article is deliberate and an official position on the Top 500 supercomputers list will follow.
Next milestone…. 1016 FLOPS. Perhaps in 2012?
A poky ten PetaFLOPS by 2012 ? If we want, we can reach one ExaFLOPS by then:
