Supercomputer doubles own record
Wow! 280.6 terraflops of processing power. I need that kind of power here at home!!! ;) Too bad we can't be using this kind of computing power to do something productive instead of wasting all its time on nuclear weapons that we don't have a use for anymore. Weather forecasting is an interesting use for it, but the genetic mapping calculations would be another good one. Of course materials engineering is another good choice they could be seeing if they could find out better ways to build solar panels and electric power transmission.
