#Dell says a #supercomputer unveiled this week in South Africa is the fastest machine on the entire continent.
The 40,000-core one petaflop Lengau system, Setswana for 'cheetah', at the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) in Cape Town, is designed to open up new research avenues and stimulate private-sector projects.
The CSIR's Centre for High Performance Computing (CHPC) previous system, Tsessebe or 'antelope', initially had a peak performance of 24.9 teraflops/s and ranked 311 in the world's top 500 list.
