...At that time [the 1960s], Bell Laboratories scientists projected that
     computer speeds as high as 30 million floating-point calculations per
     second (megaflops) would be needed for the Army's ballistic missile
     defense system. Many computer experts -- including a National Academy
     of Sciences panel -- said achieving such speeds, even using multiple
     processors, was impossible. Today, new generation supercomputers operate
     at billions of operations per second (gigaflops).
