Jaguar is the world's fastest computer for science

24 Nov 2008 - Sabina Griffith

A Cray XT high-performance computing system at the Department of Energy's (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory is the world's fastest supercomputer for science. The new machine called Jaguar has a peak performance of 1.64 petaflops (quadrillion floating point operations, or calculations) per second, incorporating 1.382 petaflops XT5 and 266 teraflops XT4 systems. The DOE's Office of Science makes Jaguar available to scientists in academia, industry and government to tackle the world's most complicated projects such as studying the impact on climate resulting from energy use and reactions in fusion reactors.
