Things got a little hairy at the University of Illinois supercomputer Blue Waters at Urbana-Champaign, when IBM stopped working on it in 2011, with funding from the National Science Foundation, the petaflop system is a number crunching 24/7. The giant resides National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) and consists of 237 Cray XE6 cabinets and 32 XK7 variety. Kepler NVIDIA GK110 GPU accelerators line inside the machine and are flanked by 22 640 computing nodes, each packet of both AMD Interlagos 6276 clocked at 2.3 GHz or higher. At peak performance, the team can produce 11610000000000 calculations per second. According to the NCSA Blue Waters all that power wins the title of most powerful supercomputer on a university campus. Now crank away around the clock, which will be used in research projects all how viruses infect cells of weather forecasts.
