Software to Make Blue Gene Top 200 Teraflops
An anonymous reader writes "New Scientist has a story about the most intensive computer program ever created. It runs on IBM's big beast, Blue Gene/L, at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California and carries out 207.3 teraflops (trillion cacluations per second). The program, called Qbox, performs very complex quantum calculations to simulate the behaviour of thousands of atoms in three dimensions. Wow."
I'm going to let you in on a little secret. The quiet majority of Americans out there actually like the President. You don't know that because we aren't loud and obnoxious like you. That's why you are always stunned when you get beat in elections. As for our intelligence, I'm a software engineer at Lockheed Martin. I promise you, I am a lot smarter than you will ever be. I'm also not a right wing religious nut just because I like the President. I don't go to church, and I'm not even sure if I even believe in God. I live in NY, not in middle America. On top of that, EVERYONE I know likes the President. I also liked Bill Clinton. Mostly for his bravery to send American forces to take out that butcher Milosevic. (without the UN approval!) Sound familiar? You see, most of us in America have common sense and a real sense of right and wrong. I love /. and read it every day. I just ignore the idiot comments like yours.
