7,680 1.9GHz AMD Opteron Quad-core processors (30,720 cores)
122880 GB Main Memory
180 trillions of computing operations per second.
Innovative energy-saving design - 700 kilowatts per hour
Total weight 155 tons
OS: Windows

it costs only 200 million yuan (29 million U.S. dollars), significantly lower than its 100 million-U.S. dollar counterpart "Roadrunner" in the United States.


:eek:

thats a server farm, they can count that as one computer?

they should replace all the amd chips with intel itaniums

Chinese gold farmers rejoice!

It's a cluster and since they can all work together to complete one task it's considered one computer.

i bet that computer plays one hell-of-a game of L4D...lol

anyone else anticipating L4D2?

Lets put a virus in it. GG.

LOL AT BOTTOM LEFT PICTURE!!!!!! :haha::haha::rofl::rofl:

lol.. in couples of years, all those processing chips are going to be outdated.

LAWLAGE!

^^ couple of years? try 6 months..
but that doesn't matter, it can still process a trillion calculations per second.. so does that matter?

It seems like every other country is more efficient at doing things then North America??? This thing costs half as much as the American one? WTF.
I mean, come on people.

I wonder why they went AMD though.. I thought these days, Intel technology is far superior.

HAHAHA OMG that pic is so funny.

hahahaha awesome pic :lol

Yeah, but it's OS is probably pirated....

shut the fuk up you fag

I doubt Windows is in anyway optimized for this kind of rig.

Waste of such massive hardware.

lol.. probably since it's china..

i'm actually using a pirated window xp that i got from china for $1.50 CAD for my desktop...

it works perfectly fine..

^^ werd got a pirated xp for my dad's computer. It's not bad comes in full chinese.

i bet one of the engineers who designed this tried to play that gay mah jong game on it...with the celebrities:)

$1.5CAD?!?!

I paid 50cents for mine, you got rippped off

Engineer alert. Prepare to be bored:

kilowatts per hour? Does this terminology bother anyone else?

Watt (Power = Energy/time)

Are they trying to say it averages 700 kW power consumption over an hour?

It just bothers me... like saying a car has 300 HP per hour.
