Two hundred and forty of the world’s 500 most powerful supercomputers sport an IBM label. According to the TOP500 Supercomputer Sites list, IBM’s Blue Gene/L system at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory tops the performance list with a speed of 280.6 teraflops, or trillions of floating point calculations per second. That computer also set another record: on June 22, the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory used the computer to run a scientific code at a sustained performance level of 207 teraflops, the highest-performing application ever run in the history of computing.
