Caption

Oak Ridge National Laboratory is home to Titan, the world’s most powerful supercomputer for open science with a theoretical peak performance exceeding 20 petaflops (quadrillion calculations per second). That kind of computational capability--almost unimaginable--is on par with each of the world’s 7 billion people being able to carry out 3 million calculations per second.
