HP AND THE Tata group have collaborated to build a supercomputer which outshines anything in Asia, it's claimed.
The computer, called "Eka", was built by a division of Tata using HP technology and can churn out 120 trillion FLOPS a second.
The computer uses Intel microprocessors and will be used for scientific purposes as well as engineering, medicine, and nanotech.
The baby cost $30 million to build.
Eka is Sanskrit for one. The Hindi phrase "bhar me jaiye" is roughly the equivalent of the Scottish expression "go boil yer heid". ยต

FLOPS a second?
(FL Ops per second a second)?
Using intel CPU's eh, hope it aren't core2's with their math error, although there's a fix for that says their errata. just insert NOP's.
Now how many FLOPS was it again?
Its like velocity increase per second.

Does this refer to acceleration?
well this phrase is more close to "go to hell" in meaning ,judging from its common usage ... 

PS.I m also a hindi speaker and use this phrase a lot ..
