Friday, 30 November, 2001, 10:45 GMT IBM loses supercomputer crown news.bbc.co.uk Terascale: Power of 10,000 desktop PCs IBM has lost the supercomputer crown to Compaq after holding the top slot for the last three years. The new chart topper is a 3,024-processor Compaq machine called Terascale based at the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Centre. The Terascale can perform six trillion calculations per second, the equivalent of 10,000 desktop PCs. It relegated IBM's Asci White into second place following a chart shake-up based on a more sophisticated way of ranking of supercomputers. Experts say the new list compiled by research firm IDC better represents real-world performance.
