34 million computing hours a year. That's the processing power of the powerful high-performing supercomputer that was inaugurated on September 24 in Trieste, as an anticipation of Trieste Next. The project was developed by SISSA within an agreement with ICTP, and the machine is housed at the “old” SISSA headquarters in via Beirut 2-4. The inauguration provides an occasion to illustrate some applications of supercomputing in industry and science, and to present the new Master's in High Performance Computing, MHPC.

Though the construction of the Theory and Computer Sciences Building was announced in 2007, to me the interior feels very much like '60s brutalist construction. Which is not a critique at all; I'm rather fond of that style.
I love the concrete and sharp geometries here, along with the sand garden filling the inner courtyard spaces. The repeated vertical and horizontal lines help make the inside feel very modern, in keeping with the buildings purpose.
It houses Argonne's Blue Gene/Q supercomputer, among other things.

Thanks Rob Turknet (@robturknett ) and the rest of TACC crew for helping me setting up the system and to João Beira (datagrama.webs.com/) for helping with the camera.
oh c'mon! every geek wants to do this! ^_^ (but it is a little wrong, yes (((: )

This is btw the fastest supercomputer in the Netherlands and one of the fastest (Nr. 51 in the top 500) in the world... This is a 12,288(!) core system. The previous Blue Gene/L was #68 (and ranked much higher earlier on), but it's been replaced only a couple of weeks ago with a Blue Gene/P, in other words, it's even quicker!
for some undisclosed appointment(^_^), i visited the High Performance Computing & Visualization Centre (HPC/V) this afternoon. And of course I took some pics!
(we were in a little bit of a rush, so quite some of these pics are a little shaky because my camera still was on iso 50...)
(i visited this very same centre more than five years ago too....)
Using Space to Scale Uncharted Mountains
Many mountains on Earth remain undiscovered. Join space physicist and mountaineer Dr Suzie Imber to find out how space satellites, supercomputers, and a passion for exploration has led to her first ascents of previously unknown mountains in the Andes.
Dr Suzie Imber is an Associate Professor in Space Physics at the University of Leicester and an experienced mountaineer.

The Frontier supercomputer at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory earned the top ranking on May 30, 2022, as the world’s fastest on the 59th TOP500 list, with 1.1 exaflops of performance.
The system is the first to achieve the level of computing performance known as exascale, a threshold of a quintillion calculations per second.

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.

I was digging through my desk for spare change when I found these four Compact Flash cards I forgot all about. There's a 16GB and three 8GB CF cards here.
These were for the work I did on the big "Ranger" supercomputer at the Texas Advanced Computing Center, currently ranked the sixth fastest supercomputer in the world. Yeah, they boot Linux (CentOS) from CF, believe it or not.
What's the net worth of those CF cards? These are 'professional' CF with wear leveling intended for use in the enterprise, rather than consumer applications. I don't know if it makes any real difference or not, though I know there are substantial differences in MTBF and performance for storage with rotating media.
Right now, I'm doing some work with 32GB solid state storage devices, and there's some pretty cool stuff I can't even mention yet for release in the (hopefully) near future.
On March 14, 2013, the lab hosted the latest event in the Argonne OutLoud public lecture series: "Rise of the Super Smart Supercomputer."
Olympus, the new theoretical 162-teraflop peak supercomputer at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, is helping scientists do more complex, advanced research in areas as climate science and smart grid development.

CDC 6600 (serial number 1), Control Data Corp., 1964
Memory: 64K+2M (60-bit) Core
Speed: 10 MFLOPS
Cost: $10,000,000
“When introduced in 1964, the CDC 6600 was the fastest computer in the world. Designed by Seymour Cray, it executed about 3 million instructions per second and remained the fastest machine for five years, until Cray produced his next supercomputer, the 7600. The elegant architecture of the 6600 included one 60-bit central processor with multiple functional units coupled to ten shared-logic 12-bit peripheral I/O processors. The machine was Freon cooled. Selling for $6 to $10 million each, Control Data Corporation (CDC) manufactured about 100 machines.”

BLUEGENE/L SUPERCOMPUTER AT LAWRENCE LIVERMORE NATIONAL LABORATORY WILL BE USED TO IMPROVE THE ABILITY TO PREDICT THE BEHAVIOR OF THE NUCLEAR STOCKPILE AS IT AGES.
THE ASC PROGRAM AT LLNL HAS TWO NEW, NEXT GENERATION SUPERCOMPUTERS, BLUEGENE/L AND PURPLE, THAT WILL HELP THE U.S. NUCLEAR WEAPONS PROGRAM STOCKPILE REMAIN SAFE AND RELIABLE WITHOUT NUCLEAR TESTING. BOTH MACHINES ARE LOCATED AT THE LLNL. THE DATA GATHERED FROM MATERIALS AGING CALCULATION TO BE RUN ON BLUEGENE/L WILL BE VITAL TO THE CREATION OF IMPROVED MODELS TO BE USED FOR FUTURE WEAPONS PERFORMANCE SIMULATION ON PURPLE.
