February 20, 201115 yr comment_31323 So I read the other day on my pulse app for android about IBM's new super computer. Apparently it's capable of 10 quadrillion calculations per second.. crazy big number. To bring that to perspective, the article said "If every single person in the united states made 1 calculations every second, it would take them almost a year to do what this computer can do in one second." absurd.But they said that it's going to be used to predict climate change, and calculate the expansion of the universe. haha idk i just thought i'd relay some information.
