Cray XT5 "Jaguar" Becomes Fastest Supercomputer

Check out the Worlds Fastest Supercomputer.

The Jaguar supercomputer previously held the title of 2nd fastest supercomputer in the world for over a year.   However, after spending over $19.9 million on 37,376 six-core AMD Istanbul processors in the last 6 months, the Jaguar supercomputer has clawed its way into the No. 1 position with a processing speed of 1.75 petaflop per second.  Scientists and researchers have already requested more than 2 billion processing hours on Jaguar for 2010.

Here's a list of the Top 10 Supercomputers in the World.
