10. SGI Altix ICE 8200EX
The SGI Altix system in Pau, France, has a capacity of 106.1 teraflops (one teraflop = one trillion operations per second). This supercomputer is run by Total Exploration Production and is the largest system housed with an industrial customer, according to Top500.org. Total is a gas and oil company that uses its supercomputer to do seismic depth imaging in order tolocate underground hydrocarbon reservoirs. The company reports that the massive heat from the computer is being used to warm some of the building at the center.
