Though very orange-like in appearance, a “dopplergram” image of the Sun measures millions of subtle motions on the Sun’s surface that helps us learn about movement and structure inside the Sun. It takes supercomputers to handle the calculations.

The Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG) Centennial Gala, held Friday, October 20, in Aberdeen was the culminating event of a year-long celebration of APG’s 100th Anniversary. Approximately 780 people attended the Cabaret-themed event, which featured live music, a casino, dancing, comedy, fireworks, acrobats and other performers, and an After-Party at the Speakeasy. Merritt Property, which manages the Aberdeen Corporate Park on route 22 next to the Target store, donated the use of the 90,000-square foot building for the event. U.S. Congressman Dutch Ruppersberger, MG Randy Taylor, local and state elected officials, and senior Army officials were in attendance, as were hundreds of members of the Harford and Cecil County communities.
The Gala was hosted by the APG Centennial Celebration Association, which is working to establish the APG Discovery Center in Aberdeen. This facility will house an interactive STEM educational space for learners of all ages to experience science and technology through hands-on exhibits and demonstrations.
During 2017, the APG community hosted over 150 events during 2017 to commemorative APG’s 100-year history. The Live Fire, the APG Memorial dedication, the Rosie the Riveters movie, exhibits at the college and libraries, historical talks and presentations, and Science Cafes.
Bravura Information Technologies was the presenting sponsor of the event. Additional funding was provided by Harford County Office of Economic Development, APG Federal Credit Union, SURVICE Engineering, Harford Community College, AFCEA, IRA, Association of Old Crows, Tenax Technologies, Northeastern Maryland Technology Council, Veteran Corps of America, Profile Partners, Leidos, Cray Supercomputers, CACI, ManTech, Jacobs, Adams Communication, Booz Allen, Camber, Jones Junction Greater Harford Committee, Signatech, Cecil College and many more businesses.

Deep Blue was based on IBM's RS/6000 SP2 supercomputer, consisting of 30 processors in two towers, one of which is shown here. The 480 identical custom chess chips (integrated circuits) were the key to the system's performance as a chess playing machine. It calculated 200 million positions per second, at times up to thirty moves ahead.

Reads like a troll, smells like a troll
'... going for the Holy Grail of Software Engineering and developing an algorithm engine (deemed impossible) that will generate 1M + algorithms per second on a supercomputer or cluster of PS3s in (any) programming language. The other half of the problem is creating a visual 3D and manageable structure for software. Solving this problem has involved all of my brainpower ...'
Hey blake what's the problem your solving? Ah found it. Better still I read this article ~ myblog.rsynnott.com/2007/05/perils-of-outsourcing.html
'... My name is Blake Southwood and I'm the founder of Brontosaurus Software. I have recruited smart MBAs and 2 lawyers to work on the business plan and right now I'm in the midst of trying in vein to recruit lisp programmers for a software project to create high level machine thinking. ... The Catch-22 is that we can't pay programmers till we get funding ...'
Can you code? Ahh then I found this article ~ www.alu.org/pipermail/uk-lispers/2006q4/000169.html
'... now has hit a seemingly insurmountable roadblock which is the lack of demonstrateable software ...'
A demo? ...
'... In the end all startups morph their business plan ( I know that I did) and they go through lots of engineers and deal with management. But with a common goal and a collective brainpower it would be advantageous for foes (potential fledgling competitors) to become comrads and cooperate together for a common good. ... They would also immediately have more engineers on board (which is always good) ...'
But this ones my favourite ~ startupsmeetandmerge.blogspot.com .. Blake your a bloomin comedian. Your talent is wasted ... couldn't dream this stuff up even if I tried.
Hmm, reads like a troll, smells like a troll ...

It's hard to say who invented the Internet. There were many mathematicians and scientists who contributed to its development; computers were sending signals to each other as early as the 1950s. But the Web owes much of its existence to Philip Emeagwali, a math whiz who came up with the formula for allowing a large number of computers to communicate at once.
Emeagwali was born to a poor family in Akure, Nigeria, in 1954. Despite his brain for math, he had to drop out of school because his family, who had become war refugees, could no longer afford to send him. As a young man, he earned a general education certificate from the University of London and later degrees from George Washington University and the University of Maryland, as well as a doctoral fellowship from the University of Michigan.
At Michigan, he participated in the scientific community's debate on how to simulate the detection of oil reservoirs using a supercomputer. Growing up in an oil-rich nation and understanding how oil is drilled, Emeagwali decided to use this problem as the subject of his doctoral dissertation. Borrowing an idea from a science fiction story about predicting the weather, Emeagwali decided that rather than using 8 expensive supercomputers he would employ thousands of microprocessors to do the computation.
The only step left was to find 8 machines and connect them. (Remember, it was the 80s.) Through research, he found a machine called the Connection Machine at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, which had sat unused after scientists had given up on figuring out how to make it simulate nuclear explosions. The machine was designed to run 65,536 interconnected microprocessors. In 1987, he applied for and was given permission to use the machine, and remotely from his Ann Arbor, Michigan, location he set the parameters and ran his program. In addition to correctly computing the amount of oil in the simulated reservoir, the machine was able to perform 3.1 billion calculations per second.
The crux of the discovery was that Emeagwali had programmed each of the microprocessors to talk to six neighboring microprocessors at the same time.
The success of this record-breaking experiment meant that there was now a practical and inexpensive way to use machines like this to speak to each other all over the world. Within a few years, the oil industry had seized upon this idea, then called the Hyperball International Network creating a virtual world wide web of ultrafast digital communication.
The discovery earned him the Institute of Electronics and Electrical Engineers' Gordon Bell Prize in 1989, considered the Nobel Prize of computing, and he was later hailed as one of the fathers of the Internet. Since then, he has won more than 100 prizes for his work and Apple computer has used his microprocessor technology in their Power Mac G4 model. Today he lives in Washington with his wife and son.
"The Internet as we know it today did not cross my mind," Emeagwali told TIME. "I was hypothesizing a planetary-sized supercomputer and, broadly speaking, my focus was on how the present creates the future and how our image of the future inspires the present."
2013. Mark Hereld, scientist/artist, has created a one-of-a-kind mural showcasing the computational science done at the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility. Mira, the fourth-fastest supercomputer in the world, is capable of 10.1 petaflops.
At Argonne National Laboratory, employee examines the pipes under MIRA will help keep the supercomputer's temperatures stable. An engineering marvel, the 10-petaflops machine is a capable of carrying out 10 quadrillion calculations per second. The Argonne Leadership Computing Facility is committed to delivering 786 million core scientists each year.
