it had to be better than nr. 2, it's only tofu

"Sequoia will be used primarily for nuclear weapons simulation, replacing the current Blue Gene/L and ASC Purple supercomputers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Sequoia will also be available for scientific purposes like astronomy, energy, studying of the human genome, and climate change."

ok that sucks...i thought all the power will be used for great things and not only a small part of it and the rest like so often with american super computers -> for weapon simulations.

Man China is slipping they need to upgrade their super computers, maybe when Nvidia launch their new Tesla modules lol.
