Sweet! I wonder how many GHz, or Teraherz?
EDIT:
"A single teraflop is one million million floating-point operations - or intensive mathematical calculations - per second, and is about 100 times faster than the most powerful desktop computers."
So, 70.72*100*3.4 = 24044.8 GHz !!!! WOZERZ!
If you played a game on that, wait, you wouldn't be able to because it would go so fast!
EDIT - Again! "It has been designed to include an unprecedented number of different processing units - 65,536 in all - and is expected to reach a staggering 360 teraflops when completed"
Umm, WOW! 360*100*3.4=122400GHz, Holy cow cow! |

uh no, because your game would use only one of those cpus and it would probably be slower than a standard computer because it wasn't designed for playing games. |

The system is run on 65,536 PowerPC processors. I cannot find information on the clock speed of the processors.

You calculation is assuming that the processor cores are only doing one operation per clock cycle... 
Regardless, it would be tempting to port and load Distributed.net on that sucker to get a killer keyrate.

If that was the case then - 1,000,000,000,000 (million million)
360,000,000,000,000 Hertz
360,000GHz
The hertz rating is stupid in this case anyway. We're talking about PowerPC CPUs here and it is likely to ignite those stupid Apple vs. x86 flame wars. The PowerPC clock speed wasn't disclosed or I haven't dug far enough into their website so I don't know what it is.

I have to second that worst post ever.
WTF were you thinking when you posted ? Dude they use that to simulate the world and weather events and such. Why do we need to know this ? Wow talk about not knowing about the world around you.
Also it is used to crack encrypted text to see if members of any terrorist groups are plotting their vengeance against us. SO hell yeah we need to know.
*poor comic book guy imitation* "Worst Post EVER."

noting can be encoded enough to require that much power. because if it was the person it's supposed to be sent to can't open or use it. |
