ALMA correlator supercomputer,with technician on supplemental oxygen. ALMA (Atacama Large Millimeter/sub-millimeter Array) is an array of 66 radio telescopes in Chile's high-altitude Atacama desert. Data from the telescopes is combined by interferometry,making it one of the world's most powerful telescopes. Seen here are some of the racks of the ALMA correlator,one of the most powerful supercomputers in the world. The full system has four identical quadrants,with over 134 million processors,performing up to 17 quadrillion operations per second. Observations began in late 2011.
