IBM builds new supercomputer

International Business Machines Corp. said Friday that it has built a supercomputer the size of a television based on microchip technology to be used in gaming consoles due out next year.

IBM said the supercomputer, which can perform 2 trillion calculations per second, is a small-scale prototype of the Blue Gene/L supercomputer that it is building for the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California.
