Title: World's Fastest Processor
Post by: Sandwich on November 01, 2003, 05:08:52 pm

Introducing the Enlight (http://www.cnn.com/2003/TECH/ptech/10/31/israel.lenslet.reut/index.html) laser-based processor, clocking in at 8 trillion operations per second (8,000 GFlops), which - if it were listed - would position it in third place in the list of the Top 500 supercomputers (http://www.top500.org/list/2003/06/?page).


But it's a single processor, not a cluster, so.... :D


...Oh yeah, it's Israeli made, too. :D

I want to know in what place it would be in the top 1000 supercomputers list. Then, I may be impressed.
