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
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
When you think of supercomputers, visions of big boxes and blinkenlights filling server rooms immediately appear. Since the 90s or thereabouts, these supercomputers have been clusters of computers, all working together on a single problem. For the last twenty years, people have been building their own ‘supercomputers’ in their homes, and now we have cheap ARM single board computers to play with. What does this mean? Personal supercomputers. That’s what [Jason] is building for his entry to the Hackaday Prize.
The goal of [Jason]’s project isn’t to break into the Top 500, and it’s doubtful it’ll be more powerful than …read more
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
Reminiscent of the California Gold Rush, the cryptocurrency phenomenon has captured the minds of virtually everyone who understands digital currency. And those with the means to ‘mine’ it will go to great lengths to do so, as evidenced most… Continue reading Russian nuclear weapons engineers detained after using facility’s supercomputer to mine cryptocurrency
News of arrests at a Russian nuclear physics lab for “unauthorised cryptomining” reminded us of SETI@work in the 1990s… Continue reading Have federal nuclear supercomputer? GO CRYPTOMINING!
The name Cray, as in [Seymour Cray] is synonymous with supercomputing. If you hurry, you can bid on a Cray J90/J916 on eBay. You might want to think about where to put it though. It is mounted on a trailer, requires 480V, and the shipping is $3,000!
First introduced in 1994, the J90 was an “entry level” machine. This particular machine supported up to 16 CPUs (each CPU was actually two chips) running at a blazing 100 MHz. The memory system was more impressive, achieving 48 GB/s.
The Cray T90 computer was much faster (and more expensive) but none of …read more
