由IBM生產(chǎn)的歐洲最快的超級(jí)計(jì)算機(jī)（每秒鐘可以運(yùn)算40萬(wàn)億次）在巴塞羅納的一個(gè)研究中心落戶。這臺(tái)名為“MareNostrum”的計(jì)算機(jī)屬于巴塞羅納超級(jí)計(jì)算中心，是全球第四大超級(jí)計(jì)算機(jī)。“MareNostrum”一詞在拉丁語(yǔ)中的意思是“我們的海洋”，預(yù)示著巴塞羅納的位置在地中海。外電報(bào)道如下：Europe's
fastest supercomputer, which can make 40 trillion calculations per second, booted up for the
first time at a research center in Barcelona.
The "MareNostrum," built by IBM Corp., boasts 40 teraflops of speed. It
can make more calculations in one second than a human pecking at a
calculator could make in 10 million years.
Its memory is equal to the combined memories of nearly 20,000 personal
computers, and its storage system has a capacity of 233 terabytes, the
equivalent of the information in 29 million books.
Peck常和at連用，意為“啄；啄起；小口地吃”，在文中比喻“一下一下地按計(jì)算器”，此外還有比喻義“（敷衍地）輕吻，不斷批評(píng)”。來(lái)看幾個(gè)例句：That
bird tried to peck the worm.（那只鳥想啄起那只蟲。）The hens pecked at the
corn.（母雞在啄食谷子。）He pecked at his dinner.（他慢慢吃著飯。）
