IBM (White Plains, NY) has had a name in supercomputers ever since its Deep Blue beat Gary Kasparov in 1997. Its latest computing monster is the six-foot tall Deep Gene, which can do not just a million calculations a second, or a billion per second, which sounds plenty fast. No, this puppy cranks along at a whopping million billion processes per second.
IBM claims its Deep Gene can be configured to work at up to three petaflops.
What types of apps can you see needing three or more petaflops? Let me know at [email protected].
