China no longer owns the fastest supercomputer in the world; It is the United States now.
Though China still has more supercomputers on the Top 500 list, the USA takes the crown of “world’s fastest supercomputer” from China after IBM and the U.S. Depa… Continue reading U.S. Builds World’s Fastest Supercomputer – Summit

A new version of the algorithm that can change summer into winter for any video can now turn your dogs into cats. Continue reading This AI Will Turn Your Dog Into a Cat
As companies gather increasing amounts of data, they face a choice over bottlenecks. They can have it in the storage component or the backend compute system. Some companies have attacked the problem by using GPUs to streamline the back end problem or Flash storage to speed up the storage problem. Pure Storage wants to give […] Continue reading Pure Storage teams with Nvidia on GPU-fueled Flash storage solution for AI
The Mac Pro Upgrade community is taking old “cheese grater” Mac Pros and putting cutting-edge graphics cards in them. The specs often outperform even top-of-the-line new Apple computers. Continue reading The Most Powerful Mac Is 6 Years Old and Not Sold By Apple
Nvidia thinks its ‘ray tracing’ tech is the future of video game graphics. Continue reading Watch This 3D ‘Star Wars’ Demo Running on a $60,000 Personal Supercomputer
The word supercomputer gets thrown around quite a bit. The original Cray-1, for example, operated at about 150 MIPS and had about eight megabytes of memory. A modern Intel i7 CPU can hit almost 250,000 MIPS and is unlikely to have less than eight gigabytes of memory, and probably has quite a bit more. Sure, MIPS isn’t a great performance number, but clearly, a top-end PC is way more powerful than the old Cray. The problem is, it’s never enough.
Today’s computers have to processes huge numbers of pixels, video data, audio data, neural networks, and long key encryption. Because …read more
