| On
December 6, IBM announced a new $100 million exploratory research
initiative to build a supercomputer 500 times more powerful than the
world's fastest computers today.
The new
computer -- nicknamed "Blue Gene" by
IBM researchers -- will be capable of more than one quadrillion
operations per second (one petaflop). This level of performance
will make Blue Gene 1,000 times more powerful than the Deep Blue
machine that beat world chess champion Garry Kasparov in 1997, and
about 2 million times more powerful than today's top desktop PCs.
