Did anyone notice we are coming up on a new prefix? GIMPS has performed over 800 quintillion floating point operations in the seven years of its existence, 800 exaflop.
I calculate that in about four months, we will have collectively performed a sextillion floating point operations, allowing me to legitimately use a prefix I have never actually seen in use, even to describe the absurdly large quantities often associated with computing. GIMPS will soon complete the first zettaflop. spike _______________________________________________ Prime mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hogranch.com/mailman/listinfo/prime
