Supercomputers are nothing new for IBM. We've been building them for more than
50 years.
Case in point: the Naval Ordnance Research Calculator
(NORC) -- for several years considered the fastest computer
on Earth -- was built by IBM in the early-1950s and formally
delivered to the U.S. Navy on December 2, 1954. Capable
of executing 15,000 complete arithmetic calculations a
second, NORC was constructed at the Watson Scientific
Computing Laboratory at Columbia University in New York
City and later installed at the Navy's Computation Laboratory
at the Naval Proving Ground in Dahlgren, Va.
