Spirit supercomputer
At a Glance: Named after the Air Force B-2 advanced fighter for its power and ability to deliver, “Spirit” is powered with 9,216 sockets (73,728 cores) powered by Intel 8-core processors operating at 2.6 GHz, boosting the peak performance to more than 1.5 petaflops, making it the 14th-fastest supercomputer in the world, according to TOP500 (www.top500.org). The SGI ICE X Spirit Supercomputer is housed in 32 M-racks, which provide water cooling directly to the CPUs. The system has 144 terabytes of main memory and 6.72 PB of file storage. To put this in perspective, a typical desktop has a single dual-core processor and can contain upwards of eight gigabytes of memory and 1 terabyte of disk space. This supercomputer has 36,000 times more power. (U.S. Air Force photo by Niki Jahns)
