20 Petaflops is a LOT!

Here is a link to the new supercomputer that IBM is building.

Just a couple of points:

• 20 petaflops = 20,000 teraflops = 20,000,000 gigaflops = 20,000,000,000 megaflops
  
• Over 1.6 million processors (how many does your computer have...1, maybe 2?)
  
• 1.6 terabytes of memory = 1,600 gigabytes = 1,600,000 megabytes (a little more than your 1 or 2 again)

It's a good thing we're all about "going green"... :-/
