pump out a sustained 1.64 quadrillion mathematical calculations per second ( 1.64 petaflops ) after a recent technical renovation , the Cray XT Jaguar is now the human race ’s latest fastest supercomputer ( huge disavowal descend ) for non - classified research . And once you see what ’s under the hood , you ’ll have sex why . The organisation is power by 45,000 quad - core AMD Opteron processor that take reward of 362 terabytes of memory . This and other underlaying architecture allows mainframe to masticate on 284 gigabytes of data per second with its impressive I / O bandwidth , which has seemingly been a major bottleneck in supercomputers of past times . Information is stored on 750 terabytes of intemperate drives . The Cray XT Jaguar can be found at the Department of Energy ’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory where it will create scientific breakthroughs during the solar day , and knuckle under to Crysis at night .
