The K supercomputer got a little faster improving its computational output to 10.5 quadrillion information per second and which makes it the most effective number-crushing system in the world.
The K Computer was built through the Japanese Secretary of state for Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology (MoMESST) with the Fujitsu Corporation and particularly targeted towards smashing the 10 petaflop barrier.
It utilizes processing groupings well over 88,000 specifically-designed HPC Fujitsu SPARC64 VIIIfx chips in addition to 864 server shelves to do its computational achievements. The K presently resides at Fujitsu's RIKEN lab in Kobe, Japan.
Based on industry benchmarks, the K computer is carrying out at 93 percent efficiency. However, considering the fact that it burned through $9.89 million of electricity yearly if this went just one petaflop, I'd rather avoid seeing the lab's current electricity bill. [Wired]
