There have been multiple technological advancements over the past few years as the old desktop computers have transformed into laptops and many other fascinating devices. However, we are here today to discuss the world's fastest computers. Most computers are designed to perform basic functions such as word processing, internet browsing, and other typical tasks. However, the world's fastest computers far surpass the abilities of these typical computers. The average computer owned by the typical consumer runs about 100 million instructions per second. The number three ranked world's fastest computer is the IBM ASC Purple, the second is the IBM BGW, and the top is the IBM BlueGene/L. The IBM BlueGene/L runs 360 trillion operations per second. So this is the winner of world's fastest computers for the time being, but there does remain one computer in the world that surpasses even the IBM BlueGene/L. This computer needs no programming by incredibly intelligent engineers nor does it make the same kind of mistakes that most computers will make. The world's fastest computer is the human brain. Next on the line of mechanical computers, coming out in 2011, is the Sequoia, which operates at the unbelievable rate of 20 petaflops per second. A petaflop is the number of floating point operation, which is a unit of measure used to calculate heavy duty calculations. This computer will be put to use for the department of energy. This computer will be used to supply one of the country's most integral departments with the most up to date information on everything it needs to know. The calculations involved for the department of energy surely are some of the most complex and need the most incredibly complicated. The old desktop computers surely could not handle the intricate information necessary for the department of energy. The world's fastest computers vary and receive new and exciting developments, it seems, daily. By the time the public hears about the latest fast computer, another one is already well within works. One comes out and then the manufacturers are in the news talking about the next one. The manufacturers of these super fast computers are always pushing for faster, better, and more impressive functionality. Each and every faster computer pushes us forward as a society towards a more technologically advanced society with the ability to do amazing things. With each passing year, the available technology doubles and triples and sometimes quadruples. Jason Oh has an interest in computers and technology.
