LLNL/RPI Supercomputer Smashes Simulation Speed Record

Lank writes "A team of computer scientists from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have managed to coordinate nearly 2 million cores to achieve a blistering 504 billion events per second, over 40 times faster than the previous record. This result was achieved on Sequoia, a 120-rack IBM Blue Gene/Q normally used to run classified nuclear simulations. Note: I am a co-author of the coming paper to appear in PADS 2013."

rPi is different from RPI

Was i the only one who thought for a second that this was about a raspberry pi cluster?

Yes.

Re:Simulation of what?

No, those events are Who. Simulating is How. What is calculated.
