… 200,000 trillion calculations per second …Isn’t that 200 quadrillion calculations per second? or are we going by the British trillion?
Sweet! Now the NSA will be able to spy on the whole world in real-time!
I’m only moderately impressed when computers are made faster by creating a larger “committee” of individual processors.
The challenge with these committees is connecting the individual processors together.
ElectricPencil screams on this baby.
It’s been more than 15 years since I have used an IBM product. Heck, I thought they hade nearly vanished.
My first and only computer that I learned to program FORTRAN 1962
The following is the text of an IBM Data Processing Division press technical fact sheet distributed on October 4, 1960.
The solid-state IBM 7090 is the most powerful data processing system now coming off production lines at International Business Machines Corporation. The fully-transistorized system has computing speeds six times faster than those of its vacuum-tube predecessor, the IBM 709, and seven and one-half times faster than those of the IBM 704. Announced in December, 1958, the first 7090 was installed in December, 1959.

What does Netview say about it (while running on my TN3270 emulator to pull VTAM statistics)?

China will clone it.
“There’s a 40MW limit for power consumption and scaling up Summit power usage by 2.5x gets us to 32.5MW”

Wow. My recollection is that a the power plant of a nuclear submarine puts out approximately 40MW. Sheesh - this gadget sucks up a lot of juice!
