<< U.S. laboratories today announced two new supercomputers. If all goes according to plan, they will become the world's two fastest supercomputers, beating out China's Tianhe-2. In fact, both machines are planned to double the previous performance record. >>

If this computers use to mine bitcoin how much it could possibly mine per day?

They are not designed to mine bitcoins and most probably they are not profitable for mining.

I wonder what kind of games John Carmack could come up with this much power.

Although the improvement seems rather nice, but I'm not amazed by it. The performance does not impress me, I do however like the energy efficiency.
That's what matters. What if we could run 100 PFLOPS at just 1 MW? That would make a difference.

I still think that this Supercomputer couldn't run AC:Unity.  :D
