This is a picture of "Roadrunner" as it was aptly named, the Worlds most powerful computer at the time of writing.
The CPU used in this beast is based on the IBM QS022 an advanced version of the Cell Processor used in the Playstation 3. Who'd ever thought the worlds most powerful Super Computer will have even a remote comparison with a game console.
Capable of delivering processing of more than 478 teraflop/s (trillions of floating point operations per second) this system is a really hot potato.
