Super Computers

SUPER COMPUTERS!


Image result for CRAY 1
Who Invented the very first cray Supercomputer? (First and last name please)
The very first cray super computer was created by Seymour Cray

In What year?
The very first super computer was invented in 1963, it was called "CDC 6600"

What is FLOPS?
FLOPS are floating-point operations per second

How many FLOPS did the Cray 1 have?
The Cray 1 had 133 mega FLOPS

When did the Cray 2 come out?
The Cray 2 was released in 1985 and ran faster than the cray 1

More Flops

      What is Kiloflops?                                                              A Megaflops?
Kiloflops are equal to 1000 flops           Megaflops are equal to 1,000,000 flops or 1000 kiloflops                     
              Gigaflops?                                                                      Teraflops?
There are 1 billion flops in a gigaflop                       There are 1 trillion flops in a teraflop

               Petaflops?                                                              Whats the next flops pattern?
There are 1 quadrillion flops in a peta flop                  After Petaflops there are Exaflops



What is the name and flops of the fastest super computer today?'
The fastest super computer today is the Sunway Taihulight with 93.01 Petaflops. It was designed by the NRCPC (National Research Center of Parallel Computer Engineering & Technology.
