Researchers at Sandia and Oak Ridge National Laboratories are preparing for the challenges of developing an exascale computer at the new Institute for Advanced Architectures.
Through the IAA, scientists plan to conduct the basic research required to create a computer capable of performing a million trillion calculations per second, otherwise known as an exaflop. That's a million times faster than today's teraflop computers and a thousand times faster than the petaflop barrier, which was broken in 2006.
Sandia's ASCI Red became the world's first teraflop computer in late 1996.

"...the U.S. Department of Energy and the National Security Agency have made it clear that they expect to have need for exaflop computing around 2018....anticipated applications, he said, include large-scale prediction, such as global climate change predictions, materials science analysis, fusion research, and national security problems that he could not discuss."
I wonder if, in the preparation of that statement, homeboy decided to move "national security" to the bottom of the list.
Interesting...
