NEC Corp. Japan unveiled the world’s most powerful supercomputer on the market, meant for advanced use in the sciences. NEC explained that its latest supercomputer, the SX-9, is capable of calculating 839 teraflops or equal to 839 trillion floating point operations per second. The first thing we’d do with this is strap a bra to our heads and create a supermodel from scratch. The company will show the SX-9 at a supercomputing convention next month in Reno, Nevada.
