With the June 9 announcement that the IBM supercomputer "RoadRunner" is the first system to reach the 1 petaflop/s level (performing more than 1,000,000,000,000,000 floating point operations per second), the high performance computing (HPC) community is entering a realm of unprecedented computing power.
And while the news about RoadRunner has caused quite a stir in the community, the implications of this new reality have not yet set in. At the International Supercomputing Conference (ISC) to be held June 17-20 in Dresden, a special panel discussion on "RoadRunner - the First Petaflop/s System in the World and Its Impact on Supercomputing" pop xofc auqsj jd qiz kogdujlsxf calumwj.
