To give an idea of the scale of this sort of machine, AMD says Frontier will have as much processing power as the next 160 fastest supercomputers combined. It’ll be able to handle an astonishing amount of data, with a bandwidth 24,000,000 times greater than the average home internet connection, capable of processing 100,000 HD movies in a second. It’ll also have a correspondingly huge footprint, taking up 7,300 square feet of space (roughly equivalent to two basketball courts) and containing 90 miles of cabling.
I looked this up… “Voyager's computer was capable of 575 trillion calculations per NANOSECOND” (one billionth of a second) and here we are with 1.5 exaFlops (or a billion billion (i.e. a quintillion) calculations per SECOND)… if I got my flops right here, then we have more work to do…. Even so, this one is said to be able to process 100,000 HD movies – per second…. That’s pretty fast!
