NEC have announced the launch of their new Supercomputer the NEC SX-9, which is reported to be the World’s mot powerful Supercomputer.

The SX-9 is capable of calculating 839 teraflops, or 839 trillion floating point operations per second.

“The SX-9 has been developed to meet the need for ultra-fast simulations of advanced and complex large-capacity scientific computing,” Yoshikazu Maruyama, senior vice president of NEC Corp., said in a statement.

NEC’s supercomputers are used in fields including advanced weather forecasting, aerospace and in large research institutes and companies.

The company said it has already sold more than 1,000 supercomputers in the SX series.

The SX-9 will first go on display at a supercomputing convention next month in Reno, Nevada.
