IBM has recently developed a new 1.6-petaflop high-performance computer for the National Center for Atmospheric Research with the purpose of installing a new supercomputing ability and help the center’s research in atmospheric and climate change.

A pentaflop is a unit of measure of a supercomputer’s performance; it is basically the ability to do a quadrillion floating point operations per second (FLOP).
