Government unveils world's fastest computer
To put the computer's speed in perspective, if every one of the 6 billion people on earth used a hand-held computer and worked 24 hours a day it would take them 46 years to do what the Roadrunner computer can do in a single day.

As such, when the computer freezes for just five minutes it is the equivalent to an ice-age long period of near-extinction, repopulation, civilization, and technological development.

1 petaflop
To compare my Macbook 2.2 Ghz Core 2 Duo is 3.20 Gflop
So Roadrunner equals 312500 Macbooks
or 687500 Ghz
