Jaguar: The Holy Crap of Computers

Postby Zorro » April 17th, 2011, 7:10 pm

It's at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. It's considered to be the world's fastest computer. It has a cost of $104 million. It's called "Jaguar."

LINK: http://www.nccs.gov/computing-resources/jaguar/

National Center For Computational Science wrote:It contains 224,256 processing cores, 300 terabytes of memory, and a peak performance of 2.3 petaflop/s (2.3 quadrillion floating point operations per second).


Think it'd have enough processing power to run the upcoming "Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" game?

I'd put down good money that it couldn't run DF2.

Let's make a list of things the Jaguar could do:

- Find the corner in a circular room.
- End world hunger.
- Achieve world peace.
- Make BC intelligent.
- Take away Newborn's accent.
- Make Hogg stop changing names.
- Hack Chuck Norris.
- Decipher why Pause wants to live in Michigan.

Fine, BC, have it your way.

- Decipher why Pause is living in Michigan.
- Decipher why BlackCat is living in Michigan.
- Decipher why Zorro doesn't move back west to Arizona where he belongs.
- Decipher whether Obama was born in Hawaii or not.

Keep on deciphering; we'll never know. Only Donald Trump will find out for us. :lol:

Or we could just ask his grandmother. But his grandmother might be lying, because of possible political or financial ambitions she might have... erm... wait...

Speaking of old people... When is George Soros going to kick the bucket? He's 80 now. When is that old codger going to friggen die?
