UK invested $ninety million supercomputer project to start next year

EST on April 3rd (Beijing time April 4th) news: the British government will invest 52 million pounds ($90 million 400 thousand) to develop a super computer world's fastest to.

The name of the project called "high-end computing giant resources (High-End Computing Terascale Resource), after the successful development of this supercomputer will be British scientists to study a variety of cutting-edge technology use. The ability of the successful development of this supercomputer will reach 100 trillion floating-point operations per second, which is more than six times the British super computer the most powerful, its operation capability is very strong, enough to simulate the earth's climate system and subtle detailed atomic structure.

The supercomputer project will be officially launched in 2007, the entire project is responsible for the management and management of the scientific research council.

The super computer is currently the world's fastest blue gene /L is located in the St. Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California, the highest speed can reach 367 trillion times per second floating-point ability. At present, the most powerful supercomputer in Europe is located in the German Research Center in Germany, its ability to achieve 45 trillion and 600 billion floating-point operations per second.
