IBM will hit 10 Petaflops in a 5 years
Power 7 will be used. A lot of cores on a chip. IBM has small core cell plans similar to Intel's. Thus, we are jumping into cloud computing. An the overall winner will be ... Google. Even before the year 2016 when 100 Pflops computers will lead the TOP 500 list.
100Pflops of computer power compared with your 10GF PC is the same to compare your PC with electromechanical computer able to "burn" 1000 operations per second. Compare 1Kops software with your current Vista monster. Age of new software is ahead of us.
