In Rosgidromete installed a new supercomputer.

In Rosgidromete installed a new supercomputer, a capacity of 27 teraflops (trillion operations per second), RIA Novosti.
Mounting supercomputer Rosgidromete began in the spring of this year. Initially, its launch was scheduled for autumn 2008.
Transferring the existing predictive technology to a new supercomputer Roshydromet take about six to seven months. Year will be required for the withdrawal of supercomputer for maximum performance.
The new supercomputer Roshydromet is the sixth power of computing capacity in Russia. Productivity of the best Russian supercomputer is 71.28 teraflopsa. In a rating of 500 most powerful supercomputers world, he took 35 seats.
Earlier Rosgidromete worked two supercomputer capacity of 13,68 and 10,29 teraflopsa. According to RIA Novosti, the new supercomputer to ten thousand times stronger than their predecessors. Apparently there was a view that it was ten thousand times stronger than conventional computers.
For example, the performance of a 2.4-gigagertsevogo processor Intel Core Duo 2 is 1.3 gigaflopsa (trillion operations per second). The performance of two chips such as every ten thousand times smaller than the productivity of the new supercomputer Roshydromet.
