IBM has produced the world's fastest supercomputer, doubling the previous computer speed record.
This computer does over 1 quadrillion (1000 trillion) calculations per second, which can calculate circles around any other computer on the planet. But do not expect to have a computer of this speed on your desktop any time soon. This super computer occupies 6000 square feet, weighs 250 tons, and is shipped in 21 tractor-trailer trucks. Its electrical usage is 3.9 Megawatts. It was built for the US Department of Energy and only they could afford it $133 million price tag.
