Fujitsu--an information technology company--and RIKEN--a large research institute in Japan--upgraded their K supercomputer with an additional 19,584 CPUs, allowing it to break its own world speed record in the number of calculations the computer can perform per second. The new record is an astounding 10.51 quadrillion calculations per second.

It may not stay the fastest for long, Cray will be upgrading the Jaguar computer here in America in the near future
and it should overtake the Japanese and Chinese computers,(currently 1st and 2nd fastest) by using GPU chips, for
fastest on the planet...
