100,000 times faster than a typical PC Yay them.
They can read my posts 100,000 times faster.
That's got to be in the "Add to Mankind" category and somebody should get a coffee cup.

CHEYENNE, Wyo. -- One of the most powerful computers in the world dedicated to climate change Okay, that is where I stopped reading.
Anything dedicated to climate change models is gonna be crap, and will spew out crap.
So, these computers will give us the crap lies even faster.

I knew the article was going to link it to “climate change”. Computing faster means that garbage is produced sooner.

They’ll be able to make-up the future now for 250 years away instead of only 100. We’ll never know just how wrong they are today.

dedicated to climate change That is the bias of CTV News, not necessarily the lab or the scientists who will utilize the system. If you bothered to read some of the sample research questions it would become clearer to you.

Last time I checked, Silicon Graphics is a dead company.
Google bought most of their property in Mountain View.
I wonder who got paid off to take a Silicon Graphics computer.
