The Nvidia Tesla C2070, is a cluster-level powerhouse of a computer, packet into a device package. Whilst commonly used for video processes, this is not a dedicated GPU, and has been used in calculation and projection of astrological bodies. Unlike a typical CPU, it does carry its own integrated memory. This computer model revolves around an EXCEPTIONALLY powerful CPU as a slave to a typical high-end CPU. Its powerful 448 Cores run at slightly over 1Ghz each, and processes JUST over the one teraflop range.

Cray Xe6m computer has massively parallel processing power. Using the AMD Opteron 6100 Series processors; up to 192 per cabinet. And with up to 2,304 processor cores per system cabinet. The Peak Performance is 20.2 teraflops per system cabinet. The Xe6m runs application workloads in the midrange high performance computing market, where applications require between 700 and 13,000 cores of processing power.

When completed, Stampede will comprise several thousand Dell "Zeus" servers with each server having dual 8-core processors from the forthcoming Intel® Xeon® Processor E5 Family (formerly codenamed "Sandy Bridge-EP") and each server with 32 gigabytes of memory. This production system will offer almost 2 petaflops of peak performance, which is double the current top system in XD, and the real performance of scientific applications will see an even greater performance boost due to the newer processor and interconnect technologies. The cluster will also include a new innovative capability: Intel® Many Integrated Core (MIC) co-processors codenamed "Knights Corner," providing an additional 8 petaflops of performance. Intel MIC co-processors are designed to process highly parallel workloads and provide the benefits of using the most popular x86 instruction set. This will greatly simplify the task of porting and optimizing applications on Stampede to utilize the performance of both the Intel Xeon processors and Intel MIC co-processors.
"The Cray XE6 supercomputer takes the proven Cray XT5 infrastructure and incorporates it with two innovative
new technologies: AMD’s powerful multi-core processors and the revolutionary Gemini™ interconnect." it is designed to have over 1,000,000 cores. 64k Cache per core, 64 GB per node of memory.

Japan's "K Computer", as of June 2011, is the fastest computer in the world. The K Computer uses 68,544 2.0GHz 8-core SPARC64 VIIIfx processors. Performs 8.162 petaflops, or 8.162 quadrillion calculations per second. TOFU is the network interface system that runs the connectivity of the K Computer, and the parallel file system, based off Lustre, is called Fujitsu Exabyte File System.

The Cray CX1 Supercomputer is one of the fastest and quietests computers on the market right now. The Cray Cx1 "incorporates up to 8 nodes and 16 Intel Xeon processors, either dual or quad core; delivers up to 64 gigabytes of memory per node; and provides up to 4 terabytes of internal storage"..... All I can say it WOW, can I get a credit check please, cause I want that computer. But that is about the only downfall of the system, it runs between $25K and $60K.....not for your fly by night computer guy.

The Blue Gene/P is a supercopmuter that came out in 2007 which was seven times more energy efficient that any supercomputer. Four 850 MHz PowerPC 450 processors are integrated on each chip. The 1-PFLOPS Blue Gene/P configuration is a 294,912-processor, 72-rack system harnessed to a high-speed, optical network. 4,096 processors per rack. The first installment of the first racks had 32,000 processors. In 2009 the new configuration had almost 300,000 processor cores, 144 terabyte memory, 6 petabyte storage in 72 racks.

The Atari ATW800 Transputer workstation was a high end, high powered system which combined the power of the ABAQ Transputer system with the front end power of the Atari Mega ST. Used together, they formed an amazingly powerful and versital computer. The Transputer system allowed the use of "Farm Cards" with multiple parallel processors to form a powerful Parallel Processing computer system. These power-house workstations could then be linked to one another to form parallel processing networks where each workstation then formed a piece of the whole and the entire network could then work together.
NVidia Telsa 20 series of GPU’s is the fastest parallel processor for hpc. This super computers are desined from the ground up for high performance computing (HPC). It can deliver up to ten times higher applications performance and is ideal for SCISMIC processing, biochemistry simulations, weather and climate modeling, signal processing, computational finance, CAE, CFD and data analysis. Telsa Gpu is based on the NVIDIA CUDA GPU architecture codename “ferm”. The Telsa 20 serie GPU’s feature up to 665 gigaflop of double precision performance.
