Worlds Fastest Computer

Scientists developed the world’s fastest computer.It is able to perform 1,000 trillion operations per second.

The Name of this computer,Road Runner, is twice as fast the previous fastest computer IBM’s Blue Gene system, which was considered to be the fastest supercomputer, being three times faster than other supercomputers in the world. The Road Runner was developed by the engineers from the Laos Alamo’s National Laboratory in New Mexico, US, and IBM Corp. from 13,000 of computer chips.

Road Runner is the world’s first petaflop computer, meaning that it can perform 1,000 trillion operations per second. The daily performance of the computer can be compared to the calculations made by 6 billion people using a hand-held computer 24 hours a day for 46 years.

It took more than six years to develop a computer technology like this. Built from computer chips used in popular video game PlayStation 3 and 12,960 cell engines, it can boast 80 terabytes of memory. The interconnecting system takes 6,000 square feet, having 57 miles of fiber optics and weighs 500,000 pounds.

The supercomputer will be used for nuclear weapons research, but will have a numerous applications in medicine and science, engineering and other fields. It has a great potential to help in developing bio fuels, new drug therapies and even vaccine for the HIV virus, solving global energy tasks and find a clue to the origins of the universe.

The RoadRunner is now placed at the IBM research laboratory in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., but will be moved to the Los Alamos National Laboratory, where it will be initially tested for unclassified work and later used for nuclear weapons work and other government activities.

Blackberry mobile phone services will soon be available in China

According to BBC News…Blackberry mobile phone services will soon be available to individual customers in China for the first time.

The handheld devices, made by Canadian company Research In Motion, have previously only been available in China to employees of a few major companies.

Small firms Workers will also now be able to access a Blackberry - long a mainstay of Western business users.

The Chinese market is expanding fast, and Blackberry’s arch rival, the iPhone, is making inroads there.

Chine country already has 650 million mobile subscribers. Research In Motion will provide its Blackberry device in partnership with China Mobile, which dominates the market with 513 million subscribers.

It, and two other main carriers, were recently assigned third generation mobile phone licences, which allow high-speed internet browsing - something that was first offered in Japan 10 years ago.

Blackberry has been operating in China since 2006. But although the devices were restricted to employees of large organisations, the country also has a huge semi-legal “grey market” for smartphones such as theBlackberry and Apple iPhone, in which smartphones are brought in from places such as Hong Kong.

China Unicom, the country’s number two mobile carrier, has already begun to sell Apple’s iPhone in China.

China Telecom is reportedly aiming to sell BlackBerry and Palm smartphones by early next year. No price has yet been suggested.
