Let’s explore Dark matter mysteries of the Universe, with fastest computer of the World !!

Now the time is coming when we will explore each and every part of the universe by the use of latest technology.

IBM and Los Alamos National Laboratory had developed the world fastest computer named as “Roadrunner”, which is able to perform 100 trillions operations per seconds.
It is basically designed for the advancement in the US nuclear program, as well as it will also leads to the exploration in the dark energies in the universe.
This machine is huge in size and covers 6,000 square feet of space, its 10,000 connections of optical fiber covering the area of 57km and its memory weights 500,000 pounds that include 80 terabytes space.

Still we had only explored 4.6% mass of the universe that is visible and made of atoms. Other 22% is dark matter whose presence can only be judged with the help of moving galaxies and other 73% is still the secret mystery of the universe called as dark energy.

Roadrunner had used the base particle for the calculation that has the mass of billons suns. Such a huge mass was necessary as galaxies had been molded which has the mass of about trillions suns.

This computer will use particles equal to 64 billions of suns, to explore the dimension of the universe that is highly fascinating and mind fighting.
