Blue Gene/L beats own speed record
By Stephen Shankland, CNET News.com

Now that full complement of 12,544 Power5 processors have been installed, the Blue Gene/L supercomputer has hit 260 teraflops

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and IBM unveiled the Blue Gene/L supercomputer on Thursday and announced that it has broken its own record again for the world's fastest supercomputer.

The 65,536-processor machine can sustain 280.6 trillion calculations per second, called 280.6 teraflops, IBM said Thursday. That's the top end of the range IBM forecast and more than twice the previous Blue Gene/L record of 136.8 teraflops, set when only half the machine was installed.
