11. Hardware
Watson is made up of a cluster of ninety IBM Power 750
servers with a total of 2880 POWER7 processor cores and
16 Terabytes of RAM.
Watson can process 500 gigabytes, the equivalent of a
million books, per second.
Watson's hardware cost at about $3 million and with 80
TeraFLOPs would be placed 94th on the Top 500
Supercomputers list, and 49th in the Top 50
Supercomputers list.
The content was stored in Watson's RAM for the game
because data stored on hard drives are too slow to access.
