Super-Computer makes 46 600 000 000 000 steps of calculation per second – guess where you can find it?
At the German Aerospace Center in Braunschweig, at the Research
Airport, just around the corner.
In just one sec it calculates 46,6 billion steps, impressive, huh? If you put the calculated numbers on CDs, you would get a tower of 640 m in height, this article (german) says.
Lower Saxony, the DLR and Airbus work together in this 30-million-euro-project. It´s the main tool in the department for aerodynamics and fluid mechanics and is named C²A²S²E (Center for Computer Applications in Aero-Space Science and Engineering). They use it for flight simulation with the newest, economical ideas for airplanes in realtime.
I think it´s kinda cool.
