[Acm] Fastest supercomputer planned out at Sandia

[Matt]

Thought that the Supercomputing Community at Fordham would be interested in this new computer out at Sandia:

An exaflop is a thousand times faster than a petaflop, itself a thousand times faster than a teraflop. Teraflop computers —the first was developed 10 years ago at Sandia — currently are the state of the art. They do trillions of calculations a second. Exaflop computers would perform a million trillion calculations per second.
