The supercomputer will be used for "WEATHER PURPOSES". Uh-huh. Sure it will - despite US sanctions against having a supercomputer capable of of conducting calculations faster than 190 billion operations per second. And according to international trade regulations, supercomputers performing over 190 billion operations per second are considered strategic equipment and their sale is subject to sanctions. A VERY "STRATEGIC" WEATHER MACHINE INDEED!

&lt;BR&gt;Supercomputers are based on cluster technology and can be upgraded. Since 
the system is domestically made, it does not need the assistance of foreign 
companies. &lt;BR&gt;Maximum processing capacity of the supercomputer is 860 billion 
operations per second. And according to international trade regulations, 
supercomputers performing over 190 billion operations per second are considered 
strategic equipment and their sale is subject to sanctions. &lt;BR&gt;The 
supercomputer made by Amir Kabir University is the most powerful and fastest 
supercomputer of the Middle East. Hence, Iran has joined the club of countries 
with superior computer technology. &lt;BR&gt;</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/BB66CB42-B274-4E18-BE8E-07E32D8F0E77/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
