image Would Deep Thought have been so dismissive about the new supercomputer from NEC?  The NEC SX-9 Vector Supercomputer System.  (Although Milliard Gargantubrain is a much cooler name for a super computer.)

  • Consisting of 16 nodes.
  • Capable of a peak vector performance in excess of 100 GFLOPS.
  • Available in six colors including periwinkle.

The SX-9 is the current fastest supercomputer in the world.  It closes in on the PFLOPS range.  World's fastest vector computer goes live.

 Update: Ok I lied about the colors, you can only get it in black.
