IBM will build the world’s most powerful supercomputer at Los Alamos National Laboratory by 2008.
The machine, codenamed Roadrunner, will be able to achieve 1.5 petaflops.
The new computer is a hybrid design, using both conventional supercomputer processors and the new “cell” chip designed for Sony’s PlayStation 3.
