Wanna talk speed? It's just like our Camaros and 1/4-mile speeds. Show me your Linpack scores.

I am a computational scientist who has been using supercomputers for 25 years, and the amazing thing to me is that the iPhone 4s (and similar devices) are achieving Linpack speeds similar to some of the Cray supercomputers of the early 1990's. Quite staggering to think about the miniaturization that has taken place in 20 years, but the fact is that supercomputers are 100,000 times faster today than they were in 1993, http://www.top500.org/lists/2011/06/...ce_development
