		<description><![CDATA[It’s likely a challenge to program and a bitch to debug, but IBM’s new Roadrunner supercomputer is the most powerful in the world. With 12,240 cell processors typically found in Sony’s PlayStation 3 console and another 6,562 dual-core AMD Opteron chips, Roadrunner has been benchmarked at 1.026 petaflops (1.026 quadrillion calculations per second).]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://digitaldaily.allthingsd.com/files/2008/06/roadrunner.jpg" alt="" title="roadrunner" width="350" height="230" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2562" />It&#8217;s likely a challenge to program and a bitch to debug, but <a href="http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/deepcomputing/rr/index.html">IBM&#8217;s (IBM) new Roadrunner supercomputer</a> is the most powerful in the world. With 12,240 cell processors typically found in Sony&#8217;s (SNE) PlayStation 3 console and another 6,562 dual-core AMD (AMD) Opteron chips, Roadrunner has been benchmarked at 1.026 petaflops (1.026 <em>quadrillion</em> calculations per second). And that places it atop the latest <a href="http://www.top500.org/list/2008/06/100">Top500</a> supercomputing ranking as <a href="http://www.top500.org/lists/2008/06">the most powerful computer in the world</a>.</p>
<p>The first computer ever to pass the petaflop milestone, Roadrunner is <a href="http://www.top500.org/lists/2007/06">more than twice as fast</a> as the top-ranked computer in the previous Top500 ranking. It&#8217;s also one of the most energy efficient systems on the Top500. But you wouldn&#8217;t know from looking at it. It&#8217;s housed in the Los Alamos National Laboratory and will be used principally for nuclear weapons simulations.</p>
