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.

I've borrowed this nifty mouse-mat from the San Diego Superduper Computer Center
Needless to say, I've not managed to solve any of the equations yet...

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.

Compute section of Colosse with multiple processing nodes in several cabinets. The turquoise cabling is infiniband.
The towers of the incredible Soviet era Duga ionospheric radar installation remain standing to this day. Slighty radioactive due to the explosion of the nearby Chernobyl reactor, this radar was capable of detecting US ICBM launches from halfway around the globe. An accompanying supercomputer (of the day) processed the radar information to generate a picture of foreign ICBM launches.
This installation financially strained the Soviet Union and is credited, along with Chernobyl, with accelerating the downfall of the USSR.

The U.S. Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory unveiled Summit as the world’s most powerful and smartest scientific supercomputer on June 8, 2018.
With a peak performance of 200,000 trillion calculations per second-or 200 petaflops, Summit will be eight times more powerful than ORNL’s previous top-ranked system, Titan. For certain scientific applications, Summits will also be capable of more than three billion mixed precision calculations per second, or 3.3 exaops. Summit will provide unprecedented computing power for research in energy, advanced materials and artificial intelligence (AI), among other domains, enabling scientific discoveries that were previously impractical or impossible.

Finally, my entry for the PSDTuts+ Delta Dawn competition.
-------------------
INTERPRETATION OF BRIEF
Delta Dawn: The Singularity
"The year is 2399 A.D. An enormous supercomputer known as the Triarch covers the entire surface of the Earth. For two hundred years, it has dominated mankind with its army of machines and genome soldiers. Its relay hubs - monstrous structures known as the Spikes – tower over the landscape, a grim reminder to the humans living in slavery below.
Humanity’s last hope rests with the Delta Collective, a group of scientists, soldiers, engineers and refugees living deep within the city’s forgotten foundations, where the Triarch’s probes cannot penetrate… yet.
As a member of the Delta Collective’s elite combat operatives, it is your mission to strike at the Triarch’s silicon heart, using a combination of brute force, sabotage and subterfuge.
The 25th Century dawns. The time has come to take the planet back."

MY COMMENTS
My envisionment of the game was of a first-person shooter taking place in a futuristic, post-apocalyptic city, centering around the actions of a lone soldier in an underground guerilla war against a supercomputer that has subjugated all mankind.
The subtitle - "The Singularity" - refers to the hypothetical "technological singularity" that some think will occur when technology develops at an immense and uncontrollable rate, resulting in, among other things depending on who you ask, sentient computers. In my image of the game, mankind reached this singularity in the 2100s, and has been paying the price for it ever since.
I would create the entire game if I could - the general art style is represented in the box art. It would be a juxtaposition of the ultra-high-tech, clean, clinical forces of the Triarch and the grungy, dirty, "underground" denizens of the city.
Weaponry would be put together from salvaged parts around the city by the Delta Collective's science team and taken from the corpses and wrecks of the Triarch's forces. These would range from crude projectile weapons to radioactive sludge cannons and a "cold fusion gun" [Pictured - actually a modified camera tripod! :)].

I am unsure of the license of the matte painting in the lower-right screenshot - it's an image that I had on my hard drive. I liked it and used it, but I can remove it easily if necessary.
All the rest was done with original photography and texture generation techniques.
The towers are 3D models generated using 3D Studio Max and Greeble.

Argonne's Pete Beckman gives the audience some background on Argonne during his presentation on the rise of supercomputers.
Edward Teller, who had served as director of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory from 1958 to 1960, and then-director Harold Brown are briefed on the final acceptance tests on the LARC (Livermore Advanced Research Computer) by Sid Fernbach, head of Computation Division. In order to pass the tests, the LARC had to operate continuously for two 16-hour periods at a minimum of 95% efficiency.
