PetaFLOP (one quadrillion floating point operations per second)

I seriously love this technology.

Western Australia is becoming one of the main two supercomputing centres on the planet in the coming years with the massive SKA project (Square Kilometre Array telescope).

The Pawsey supercomputer called Magnus has just been commissioned this month and has broken the PetaFLOP (one quadrillion floating point operations per second) barrier.

In one second, Magnus is able to perform more calculations than the entire population of Australia could in 21 years.
