Fujitsu K - world's fastest supercomputer

The world's fastest supercomputer, the Fujitsu K, was on show at CEATEC 2011, with Fujitsu giving it centre stage at the company's booth. The specs of the Fujitsu K are phenomenal. The computer manages to do[PRBREAK][/PRBREAK] 8.162 petaflops of workload and dwarfs its nearest rival by almost four to one. Although Fujitsu had hoped that the computer would be able to do 10 petaflops by 2012, this won't be the case but it's still a staggering piece of kit. A Fujitsu spokesperson told TechRadar that the system is comprised of 800 racks that are slanted to aid cooling.

There's 100 CPUs per rack and the computer can do around 8.2 quadrillion calculations
