Jaguar: Fastest Super Computer in the World

XT5 supercomputer from Cray Inc., or better known as Jaguar, expressed as Fastest Super Computer in the World this year in the TOP500 Super Computer List.

Jaguar by using AMD Opteron processor x86_64 Six Core 2600 MHz (10.4 GFlops) can make the process of achieving 1.75 petaflop / s, or quadrillions of floating point operations per second. Whereas in the second position is occupied by the IBM Roadrunner using PowerXCell 8i processor 3200 MHz (12.8 GFlops) is only able to process 1.04 petaflop / s.
