NEC SX-9 to be World's Fastest Vector Computer

An anonymous reader writes "NEC has announced the NEC SX-9 claiming it to be the fastest vector computer, with single core speeds of up to 102.4 GFLOPS and up to 1.6TFLOPS on a single node incorporating multiple CPUs. The machines can be used in complex large-scale computation, such as climates, aeronautics and space, environmental simulations, fluid dynamics, through the processing of array-handling with a single vector instruction. Yes, it runs a UNIX System V-compatible OS."

  1. Vector Computing doesn't care about black people! by WhatsUpNegro · · Score: -1, Troll

    Reasons:

    1) NEC lets Negros believe that NEC stands for Negro Electric Company when it really means Nippon Electric Company which makes them racist AND a liar.

    2) Why do that rate calculations in PFLOPS and TFLOPS when everyone knows that it is PNEGRO and TNEGRO.

    3) Vector Computing called me a nigger once.

    We as negro people, it's time, it's time for us to come together. It's time for us to rebuild Vector Computers, the one that should be a Chocolate Vector Computer. And I don't care what people are saying Uptown or wherever they are. Vector Computers will be chocolate at the end of the day. --
