It’s called the Anvil and it’s now up to full speed
I’m not sure what this means but it sounds really fast…..
Anvil’s current strength is now in a category that challenges the imagination. At peak performance, it can now operate at an astonishing 5.1 petaFLOPS (floating-point operations per second). A computer system with one petaFLOPS is capable of performing one quadrillion [1015] FLOPS. A one-petaFLOPS computer system can manage in just one second what would take an individual a calculation every second for 31,688,765 years. Multiply those individual calculations by a factor of 5.1, and the product is Anvil’s single-second peak capacity.
