NASA supercomputer that used to launch astronauts to the moon in 1969 was no match of smartphone smartphones available today?

Supercomputers are used by NASA 45 years ago the use of artificial machines that use IBM Model 360 75 mainframe computer. Obviously, at that time the price of a giant supercomputer could reach USD 41 billion.

A similar device is used to control the Apollo 11 mission that weigh up to 30 kilograms. But make no mistake, the two computers 'super' only has a capacity of several tens of kilobytes of RAM (approximately 64 kb), the processor speed is only 0.043 MHz.

Compare this to the iPhone 5S processor, which is capable of 'speeding' up to a speed of 1.3 GHz. With these speeds, the iPhone 5S can perform millions of calculations per second, far outshines yan NASA supercomputers could only run hundreds of calculations per second.

Similarly, up to 1 GB of RAM, the iPhone 5S is more than enough to store and run all programs developed by NASA to monitor the astronauts in 1969 to reach 6 MB only.

Not to be outdone, Samsung Galaxy S5 turns out to be able to beat the first supercomputer that puts the world chess champion, Garry Kasparov, with a final score of 2 to 1.

In 1997, a computer named Deep Blue that holds the title as the most powerful computer in the world and the number 259 is able to record up to 11.38 GFLOPS performance. FLOPS or Floating-point Operations per Second is the unit used to measure the amount of computation that is executed by the computer every second.

It turns out the Galaxy S5 with its Exynos processor capable of up to 142 GFLOPS carve figures. Even with a 192-core GPU core Tegra owned K1 SoC, the ability of the Galaxy S5 can increase up to twofold.

Although the Galaxy S5 may not be used to play chess with those levels, a smartphone made by Samsung can do computing tens times higher than Deep Blue, PhoneArena.
