| | FLOPS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The fastest computer in the world as of November 5, 2004 was the IBM Blue Gene supercomputer, measuring 70.72 TFLOPS. | | | As of June 2005, GIMPS is sustaining 17 TFLOPS, while Einstein@home is actually crunching more than 50 TFLOPS against 167 TFLOPS of its theoretical computing speed. | | | Distributed computing uses the Internet to link personal computers to achieve a similar effect: it has allowed SETI@home, the largest such project, to compute data at more than 100 TFLOPS. |

| | Towards Petflop Computing |
| | There are two ways to do this: the first is for the programmer to carefully structure the algorithm for the solution of the overall problem, such that it can be expressed as a collection of smaller, independent algorithms. | | | The TFLOPS design philosophy is different, and the idea is to achive high performance by connecting together thousands of off-the-shelf components. | | | For a massively parallel machine like TFLOPS, the trick is to structure the program such that pieces of it can be distributed to separate processors, which can work on each part of the problem in parallel. |

| | As part of the ASCI Option Blue program (a program to build a three TFLOP machine by the end of 1998), a benchmark version of this code was created and released to the supercomputing benchmarking community. | | | For the TFLOPS benchmark, these kernels were written in x86 assembly code by Satya Gupta, Stuart Hawkinson, and Greg Henry (all from Intel Corp.). | | | The system has a peak 1.8 TFLOP computation rate and a cross-section bandwidth (measured across the two 32 x 38 planes) of over 51 GB/sec. |

| | The result of this test of execution performance, 35.61 TFlops (trillion operations per second), was approved and the Earth Simulator was registered as the world' s fastest supercomputer by Dr. Jack J.
