After 18 months of IBM with its Roadrunner cool computer to be the fastest, the Cray XT5 now exhausted IBM Roadrunner as the world's fastest cool computer. In theory, the cool computer Cray XT5 has up to 2.3 Petaflops accretion achievement (more than 2 abundance calculation per second) and 1.75 Petaflops according to the Linpack benchmark. Compare with 'ex-fastest' IBM Roadrunner has up to 1.04 petaflops accretion performance. XT5 Cray cool computer is now ranked aboriginal in the TOP500. What is 'brain' of a cool computer? According to the account that I can, this cool computer Cray XT5 amount consists of 224 162. The processor acclimated is the AMD Opteron 'Istanbul' which has a six-core processor. Supercomputer, amid at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. This supercomputer will be acclimated to simulate acclimate and supernova (star explosion). Cool computer is application linux operating arrangement that has been adapted in adjustment to be able to aerate the abeyant of this cool computer Cray XT5. 80% of the TOP500 account of cool computers application Intel processors, but Intel's own arrangement is alone able to attain the rank of 5, while the 1-4 appraisement arrangement berprosesor controlled by AMD. The actuality that absolutely awkward for Intel.
