Pittsburgh's newest supercomputer is anything but elementary. Dubbed Sherlock, it is capable of holding the data equivalent of every human heartbeat on Earth every 2.4 minutes, officials said. Researchers like Bin Zhang, of the Fox School of Business at Temple, said Sherlock has the potential to expand his research into clustering in social networks. “With the help of Sherlock, I can finally observe the true size of social groups in real-world networks of millions to even a billion people,” he said.
