It ’ll have up to 2 - petaflops processing speed , more than a PiB of memory and a 10 PiB disk storehouse organization . It ’ll also have more than 200,000 central processing unit cores , and be around $ 208 million , which is even more 000s . All this power is going to be used for proper hard science like simulate the Sun ’s coronal mass ejection , studyingblack holes , and molecular biota . Probably developing on IBM ’s previousRoadrunnersupercomputer power , it should be approachable nationally , at campus - storey . And you could play someone’ll program it to sing “ Daisy , daisy ” pretty soon after it goes online in 2011 . [ NetworkWorldviaSlashdot ]
