    Currently the most powerful weather forecasting computer is the UK Met Office
    machine, a Cray XC40 machine that delivers 6.8 petaflops and sits at number 11
    on the TOP500. 
But this does not run the production forecast, that is done on one of two smaller machines which are capable just over 3 petaflops.
