2.  Extremely fast data processing-oriented computers.  Speed is measured in “FLOPS”.  For highly calculation-intensive tasks.  For “high performance computing”.  Aims at capability computing rather than capacity computing.

3. Evolution of supercomputers *Supercomputers were introduced in the 1960s. *The supercomputers of the 1970s (Cray-1)  Used only a few processors.  Speed was 80MFlops. *In1980s (Cray-2) was an  8 processor supercomputer.  Speed was 1.9MFlops. *In the 1990s, machines with thousands of processors began to appear. *By the end of the 20th century supercomputers with ten thousands processors.

4.  Built by Cray Inc. at Oak Ridge laboratory.  Titan is an upgrade version of “Jaguar”.  Titan also has more than 700 terabytes of memory.  Titan is measured at 17.59 PFLOPS.  Taken the no.1 slot in top10 list of supercomputers.  20,000 trillion calculations each second – or 20PFLOPS.

6. More about Titan More about Titan 1. The combination of AMD’s Opteron CPUs in conjunction with Nvidia Tesla GPUs. 2. Titan is ten times more powerful than a CPU-only system. 3. It uses microchips more usually used for video gaming. 4.It has 18,688 nodes each has- 16-core AMD Opteron 6274 CPU with 32 GB. Nvidia Tesla K20X GPU with 6 GB.
