What is the next speed goal set for supercomputers?

1. Supercomputers are the most powerful computers available. 2. Their speed has been rising steadily to meet increasing demands for greater computational capability. 3. The next goal is quadrillions of computations per second, which is called petaflops. 4. Achieving those speeds is described as critical to future scientific, medical, and business discoveries. 5. Millions and billions of operations per second were passed long before this goal was set. 6. Thousands per second would be slower still, so it cannot be the target. _Source: OpenStax Introduction to Business (CC BY 4.0), Ch 13 "Using Technology to Manage Information", section 13.1 Transforming Businesses through Information_
