Hi.  First of all, my apology for cross-posting;  I really don't
know which newsgroup is appropriate for a question like this.

Anyway, I've been hearing all kinds of numbers coming out from all
kinds of people (the numbers differ in magnitude by 100 times).  I
am just wondering does anyone know for sure.

Also, it will be nice if you can tell me the speed at which the
FASTEST supercomputer is running at, and an average supercomputer.

BTW, I am interested in the number of floating point operations per
second.  Thanks a lot.
