A scientist of Indian origin has created a new supercomputer, called Cystorm, which can carry out 28.16 trillion calculations per second.
Cystorm, a Sun Microsystems machine, was developed by Mr Srinivas Aluru from the Iowa State University. The 3,200 computer processor cores that power Cystorm makes it perform 28.16 trillion calculations per second, which is five times the peak of CyBlue, an IBM Blue Gene/l supercomputer that's been on campus since early 2006 and uses 2,048 processors to do 5.7 trillion calculations per second.
According to Mr Aluru, Mr Ross Martin Mehl and Ms Marylyne Munas Mehl, Professors of computer Engineering and the leaders of the Cystorm project, the new machine also scores high on a more realistic test of a supercomputer's actual performance: 15.44 trillion calculations per second.
