Making a world-class supercomputer with thousands of processors and the power appetite of a small town isn't as easy as it used to be.

But IBM's latest machine, called Summit, is a big step forward for those who need gargantuan computing power. Unveiled Friday at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee, it's a top contender for fastest of the fast, a crown that will be bestowed later this month by organizers of the Top500 supercomputer list. For now, though, Big Blue stops a little short of calling it the world's fastest machine by that measurement.
