据美联社报道,美国马萨诸塞州坎布里奇市一家公司说,它研制成功了世界上速度最快的电子计算机。这是一种眨眼间能阅读一年报纸的电子计算机。公司负责人说,由思维机公司研制成功的这种CM—200电子计算机一秒钟能运算90亿次以上,而且可以由多达100位工程师和科学家同时使用。这种电子计算机每台售价大约1000万美元,将主要供政府和工业部门使用,应用范围从全球天气预报到石油堪探和汽车设计。 According to the Associated Press, a company in Cambridge, Massachusetts, said it has successfully developed the world’s fastest computer. This is a computer that reads a year’s newspaper in the blink of an eye. The company official said that the CM-200 computer, developed by Think Machine Corp., can operate more than 9 billion times a second, and can be used by up to 100 engineers and scientists alike. The electronic computers, priced at about $ 10 million each, will be used primarily by government and industrial sectors ranging from global weather forecasts to oil exploration and car design.
