I seem to remember reading not too long ago (here?) that 1-5 x 10^14 operations per second is the estimated speed/capacity/power of the human brain. Not that one could compare the two, but it is at least remotely interesting that we're now approaching this number.
Maybe this new supercomputer won't *want* to do nuclear weapons simulations.:-)
