Ever hear of SUMMIT? World's fastest computer located in Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee. The specs?

It can do 200 million billion calculations per second
$200 million dollar machine
It's 200 petaflop machine which can do 20 QUADRILLION calculations per second (is that 200 million billion?)
It would take a human 63 billion years to do what SUMMIT does in one second
It weighs 340 tons
Housed in a room that is 9,250 square feet in size
Has 4,608 servers
9,216 central processing chips
27,648 graphics provessors

The above info is for the folks who are knowledgeable about such things. I am not. The 20 Quadrillion(200 million billion) stopped me cold!
