NNSA Supercomputer Breaks Computing Record

Posted by timothy on from the we're-simulating-a-stockpile dept.

Lecutis writes "National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) Administrator Linton F. Brooks announced that on March 23, 2005, a supercomputer developed through the Advanced Simulation and Computing program for NNSAs Stockpile Stewardship efforts has performed 135.3 trillion floating point operations per second (teraFLOP/s) on the industry standard LINPACK benchmark, making it the fastest supercomputer in the world."

    We'll need that performance to track the lies from the DoE about nuke waste insecurity. And the lies from the NRC about current nuke storage insecurity. Good thing our tax dollars are spent so wisely that we now have the situation under control.

    Thank you!! What you said is so true. But, I expect you get modded down or even a troll due to the communistic hivemindset of the slashdot crowd.

    I do hope I'm wrong on my prediction through.
