IBM said that in the past 10 years, supercomputer power has increased about 1,000 times. Today, just three of Roadrunner's 3,456 tri-blade units have the same power as the 1998 fastest computer.

The 1.105 petaflop/s IBM Roadrunner supercomputer at Los Alamos National Laboratory retained its top dog title that it first achieved in June, after it underwent upgrades. The speed demon was ...

In the rarefied (and carefully cooled) air of the world’s top supercomputers, a new leader has emerged. According to the T0P500 list, the El Capitan, running AMD Epyc CPUs and Instinct ...

In 2008, IBM's Roadrunner was the first computer to exceed one petaFLOPS (see Roadrunner). In 2010, China's Tianhe-1A supercomputer claimed the top speed with 2.4 petaFLOPS. Meaning "Milky Way ...

This is a particularly high barrier with the inevitable offload approach that was new in the supercomputing racket when the “Roadrunner” supercomputer at Los Alamos National Laboratory was developed ...
