I was sure I'd heard it before at a trillion frames per second from MIT, albeit 4.4 trillion is almost 4 and a half times faster it is impressive:

Just think of writing out those images. Some serious buffering required!

Damn! Just too late to be used to shoot the last installment of The Hobbit! Peter Jackson must be so peeved... :P

The hobbit films are long enough already, no need to slow down the action to the speed of paint drying :D

Wonder what size storage solution are they storing the images on?

Is there even a storage medium that can write 4.4 trillion 450x450 images per second? By my calculations (which are probably wrong) if jpeg compressed 1 seconds footage would take over 300,000 terabytes of storage space.
