TOTAL SYSTEM DISRUPTION, PART 2
Two years ago, I wrote a column, "Katrina's total system disruption,"
that highlighted the complete anarchy in the wake of that storm and argued
for smarter predictive modeling to better understand not just the likelihood
of extreme environmental events but also the human response to those events.
The issue at the time, you may recall, was that a couple hundred thousand
people failed to safely evacuate New Orleans, with disastrous consequences.

NEC LAUNCHES FASTEST VECTOR SUPERCOMPUTER
NEC is selling what it says is the fastest vector supercomputer in the
world. The SX-9 is based on a new processor developed by the Tokyo company
that boasts a performance of over 100G Flops (floating point operations per
second). Up to 16 of the chips can be fitted into a single node and up to
512 nodes can be built together to create what would likely be one of the
most powerful computers in the world -- a computer with a theoretical peak
processing power of 839T Flops (teraflops).
