I remember driving to college nearly 20 years ago and one of the headlines on the radio (NPR morning show) was that the DOE had unveiled the world's fastest supercomputer at the White House that day. It was going to do a whopping 6 Teraflops, and they explained what that meant. And I remember thinking about all the possibilities with that kind of compute.

I understand that this 1.5 TFlops may not be an exact comparison (or maybe it's the same), but if it's even within an order of magnitude, it is beyond mind-blowing, and we've just crossed over into at Exaflops at the supercomputer level.
