An employee walks through the Earth Simulator, the fastest supercomputer in the world, in Yokohama, southwest of Tokyo.

Running 35.6 trillion calculations per second, the Earth Simulator is the fastest supercomputer in the world, almost five times faster than the next best one and as fast as the top 20 U.S. supercomputers combined.

машинный зал получился похож на общественную прочеченую... а перспективы они снимать там, в апфото, не умеют :)

It's a machine so fast it performs more computations per second than there are stars in our galaxy.

поеты... а заключительная фраза такая:

with its massive horsepower, the computer can model weather at 100 times the resolution of previous simulations...

скорость компа в лошадиных силах мерить, о-хо-хох...
