what is the configuration of worlds fastest and most opowerfull computer?

Answer 1

it changes all the time

i test mother boards and cpu,s for super computers

they are what we call " cabs " about 6 foot tall and about 4 foot wide

what happens is they are joined together with fiber optic cabling

the last big one that i heard about was the size of a basketball court when they were all linked together

this was done to recreate the birth of stars

even so the computers were not running at full capacity , its actually the cabling that limits the computers , the computers can calculate quicker than the cables can send the message , even though its only a nano second

hope this gives you some idea

what scares me is i test these boards at temperatures that humans cannot live at + 75 degrees and - 75 degrees

so when we arent there they will still be going strong

all the best

Answer 3

The updated powerful list just came out recently, top the list is IBM BlueGenes, the answer to this certainly not your ordinary PC.
