• Is the size of a full tennis court
• Cooling requires 109 tons of air conditioning, enough to cool 22 homes
• Uses nearly 9 miles of cable
• Weighs 35 tons,
• Is 8.6 times more powerful than Deep Blue, the IBM computer that beat Garry Kasparov in 1997
• Has the same amount of processing power as 11,200 PCs
• Can do in 1 day what would take an average PC 25 years
• Could assemble the human genome in 18 days, compared to the 150 days it took Celera
• Has 5x the memory required to hold the entire Library of Congress
