The Beijing Meteorological Bureau has acquired a supercomputer from IBM to use for forecasting the weather and air quality conditions during and after the Olympics. This new computer is considerably more powerful than their current system, about 10 times more powerful in fact and can provide much more data.
The machine uses IBM's Power5+ processor with a top speed of 9.8 teraflops(real word, I swear).
