Pleiades is a petascale supercomputer built by SGI at NASA Ames Research Center in Mountain View, California. As of November 2009[update], it was the world's sixth fastest computer with a peak performance of more than 540 teraflops, but it was still in construction phase at that time. After further extensions, Pleiades is scheduled to reach 1,000 teraflops (1 petaflops) in 2009, and 10 petaflops in 2012.[1]
