The computer was named ”Titan”. Its ability is estimated to have a speed of 20 000 trillion calculations per second, equal to 20 petaflops per second. This speed is ultimately shift the super computer made ​​in China, Tianhe-1A, which had previously been in the top position since November 2010. At that time, computers made ​​by China’s National Defense University has recorded an equivalent speed of 2.5 petaflops.

Titan, which was developed by Cray Computer, for the first time become part of the ranks of the world’s fastest computer in the facility Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Tennessee.In these facilities, laboratories ranks the world’s fastest computer will be aligned with thelab of National Geographic, Gaea Atmospheric Administration, National Science Foundation Kraken, and the U.S. Department of Energy lab development, Jaguar.

Going forward, Titan will likely be used by the local Department of Energy to calculate the complex energy systems and government cost of U.S. $ 100 million. The first stage of computation using the Titan is expected by the end of 2011.The second phase followed in subsequent years.

The on / off power button

This symbol has its origin was first used during World War 2 as the password for the switch. Vertical lines represent the number “1″ which means life or on, and the circle symbolizes the number “0″ which means dead or off. While the circle that not perfect symbolizes the condition of standby.

Bluetooth button

Button on this one is not foreign for the hobby of transferring data from one device to another. Because like it with blueberries, the 10th king of Denmark, Harald Blatand coloring one of his teeth with blue. And because the first receptor Bluetooth shaped like the teeth of the king, a password is used commonly as a symbol that representing the king Harald.

Play

There are no definite and clear story of why a triangle using for symbolizing the play button. To be sure, the triangle is considered to be a symbol pointing toward the easiest read. The position that leads to the right reminds us of the direction of the road on cassette tape.

USB

Neptune magic wand inspires as a symbol of USB connectors that can connect any connection. Three tip of his wand that is formed from three areas, squares, triangles, and circles so affirming when USB is a versatile connector.

At

Currently there is no printing press; preacher must manual write of each paper that published. Rather than be bothered to write the word ”at”, they also make a symbol ”t” wrapped around ”a”. So this is being a symbol.
