Japan designers shoot for supercomputer on a chip

Abstract:
RIKEN, an anglicized acronym for Japan's Research Institute of Physical and Chemical Research, described on Tuesday the MDGrape 3, a processor it thinks will become the cornerstone of a computer capable of operating at a petaflop, or a quadrillion operations per second - far faster than the 36 trillion ops supercomputers of today.
