America’s new supercomputer beats China’s fastest machine to take the world’s most powerful title

….."The winner: The US Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee has taken the wraps off Summit, which boasts peak computing power of 200 petaflops, or the ability to perform 200 million billion calculations a second. That makes it a million times faster than your typical laptop.".....

I saw that headline in Drudge a couple days back.....right next to the reveal that the Chinese just hacked some 614 megabites of critical secret Navy design plans for next generation of US submarines.

Something doesn't quite add up considering the juxtaposition of the stories.

Democrats in Illinois, New York, New Jersey and California are seeking to buy this computer and set as its task finding ways to increase taxes on working Americans. After all, all money belongs to the government anyway.

It is twice as fast as the Chinese whiz bang, which was the champ. The supercomputer, is really getting very advanced and it will matter. The things scare me in a lot of ways, they are so powerful.

Somebody will be surfing Russian porn on it and get a virus. That ought to slow it down.
