After seven years, Japan is again at “the top of the computer arms race.” Installed at the Institute of Physical and Chemical Research (Riken), the K Computer “performs more than eight quadrillion (8,000 trillion) calculations per second” and is scheduled to hit 10 quadrillion in 2012 when installation is complete. Already, the K Computer “is more powerful than the next five fastest computer systems combined, and can perform three times as many calculations per second as the No. 2 super computer.”
