1. "APP" is expressed in Weighted TeraFLOPS (WT), in units of 1012 adjusted floating point operations per second

2. Asus unveiled its first supercomputer on Monday , the computer-sized ESC 1000 , which uses Nvidia graphics processors to attain speeds up to 1.1 teraflops .

3. The IBM Roadrunner, the world's fastest computer, can run at 105 teraflops with an efficiency level of 8%, and Germany's JUGENE runs at 3%.

4. The mid-range UV100 integrates up to 96 sockets and 6TB of shared memory for up to 7.0 teraflops performance , while these device fits into a standard 19-inch rackmount 3U .

5. This superposition of qubits is what gives quantum computers their inherent parallelism.According to physicist David Deutsch, this parallelism allows a quantum computer to work on a million Computations at once, while your desktop PC works on one.A 30-qubit quantum computer would equal the processing power of a conventional computer that could run at 10 teraflops (trillions of floating-point
