The fastest computer in the world is being built 25 miles outside Chicago. Its name is Aurora.

 

Smack dab in the middle of a forest preserve about 25 miles west of Chicago, Argonne National Laboratory is building the fastest computer in the world. Its name is Aurora.

Once it’s turned on in 2021, Aurora will be able to do more than one quintillion (that’s a 10 with 18 zeros behind it) operations per second, said Rick Stevens, associate laboratory director for computing, environment and life sciences at Argonne.

The American model company, Aurora Plastics Corporation first saw the Playcraft Model Motoring system on display at an English toy fair and promptly acquired the marketing rights to the Model Motoring product line for sale in the U.S. Market.  The Aurora Model Motoring system first appeared in U.S. hobby stores in 1960 just in time for the Christmas buying season.  Hobby dealers often referred to these early sets as HO scale slot cars, although they were actually still the original English 1:76 'OO' scale. Aurora made no attempt to correct this discrepancy in scales, and felt that the American hobbyist would be more accepting of the American 'HO' model railroading scale designation, than the 'foreign' OO scale.
In 1964, with racing in mind, Aurora began producing sets that included real racing cars. A Ferrari 250 GTO, Maserati, Ford Mustang and Cobra roadsters were made available in several colors each.
Aurora's marketing shift from sedans and trucks that appealed primarily to model railroading enthusiasts, to true race cars which appealed to a much wider audience expanded the HO slot car racing market substantially. By 1965 over 25,000,000 HO slot cars had been sold by Aurora.
