	Japan aims for world's fastest supercomputer - Computerworld
		A computer running at such a speed would race ahead of today's fastest systems, which are typically capable of tens of trillions of calculations per second, or tens of TFLOPS.
		A TFLOPS is 1 trillion calculations per second, and a PFLOPS is 1,000 TFLOPS.
		While the exact performance of Japan's supercomputer has yet to be decided, the government wants it to match or exceed the speeds that it predicts U.S. supercomputers will have at the end of the decade, Hoshino said.

		TOKYO -- Japan this month will begin a research effort to build a supercomputer capable of crunching numbers about 30 times faster than today's fastest system can, the country's government said last week.
		Japan's Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology has established a program with NEC Corp., Hitachi Ltd. and several Japanese universities to develop by 2011 a supercomputer that can perform more than 3 quadrillion floating-point operations per second, or 3 PFLOPS.
		Our target is to be at least the same speed or faster," a ministry official said.

		Most of the applications areas discussed would require a minimum sustained performance of 10 Pflops to begin to solve the most ambitious problems and realize practical benefits.
		To move toward a full solution of these problems would require capabilities of 100 Pflops and beyond.
		The overall computing style in important application areas appears to be evolving toward one in which community models are developed and used by large groups.

	Grape-DR Project
		However, to implement a system with performance over PFLOPS, (1) physical space, (2) power consumption, (3) substantial performance(implementation efficiency) to a user, and (4) system reliability are confronted as formidable tasks.
		Assuming the size and power consumption to be 1U and 200W per processor, respectively, only the processor part requires the size of 312 racks(40U racks height) and 2.5 MW of electricity.
		Even if operation performance of a processor is assumed to double in the next few years, implementation of 1 PFLOPS needs 1,560 racks and power consumption of 125MW; accordingly, implementation is very difficult and erosion of reliability is expected.

		I will describe the superconducting digital electronics technology we developed, and also provide an overview of recent research results and developments in superconducting digit al electronics in Japan.
		The future high-end systems, such as supercomputers with their performance of over one PFLOPS or data switches with their throughput of over one Tbps, will require both ultra-high-speed switching and low-power consumption characteristics of their component devices.
		However, CMOS circuits may not support this level of performance due to limitation caused by the power consumption.

		A tower of 8 boards would give 16 TFLOPS and a room of 64 towers would make a PFLOPS.
		The optical interface could be used to link towers (note that at 4GHz light only travels 3 inches per clock cycle - so there is quite a latency even at lightspeed!).
		32 PFLOPS is more than 2^64 instructions per second.

	Definition of Blue Gene
		Blue Gene is computer architecture project designed to produce several next generation super computers, operating in the PFLOPS range.
		It is a cooperative project between the United States Department of Defense (who are funding the project), industry (IBM in particular), and Academia.
		The list of authors can be found here.

	Energy IBM are partners in biological supercomputing project
		When computers reach a quadrillion floating-point operations per second, or 1 PFLOPS, complications will arise “from a civil engineering point of view,” said David McQueeney, vice president of emerging business for IBM’s research division.
		Systems containing tens of thousands or a million processors would be physically too large and consume too much power to be practical.
		Energy and the National Institutes of Health have been working on mapping the human genome since 1990.

	Sun's R&D Spectrum - Computerworld
		If Sun wins approval to build a working machine in the next phase, one or more prototypes could be installed by 2009, Drost says.
		Those machines would run at sustained speeds of 1 quadrillion floating-point operations per second (PFLOPS), about 15 times faster than the fastest supercomputer today, and be scalable to 4PFLOPS.
		Sun Labs is working on computers at the other end of the spectrum as well, and it claims to have developed the world's smallest secure Web server.

	Definition of Supercomputers
		The prototype currently sits at IBM's Rochester, Minnesota facility, but production versions will be at various sites, including Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL).
		The LLNL system is expected to achieve at least 360 TFLOPS, and a future update will take it to 1.5 PFLOPS.
		Prior to Blue Gene/L, the fastest supercomputer was the Earth Simulator at the Yokohama Institute for Earth Sciences, Japan.
