Slicon Graphics Inc. surpassed two speed records in a single day, giving new meaning to the term "all in a day's work."
SGI recently debuted its Columbia supercomputer, which it built for NASA. During the unveiling ceremony, the company touted the 42.7 trillion calculations per second Columbia performed using 16 of its 20 servers. That outpaced NEC's Earth Simulator and IBM's Blue Gene/L--two of the leaders on the list of the world's 500 fastest machines.
But that isn't all. It managed to run at 51.9 trillion calculations per second when Columbia used all of its 20 servers.
