22/01/2026. Bristol . The Prince and Princess of Wales Visits Bristol, UK. The Prince of Wales visits the University of Bristol’s Isambard-AI supercomputer at the National Composites Centre. His Royal Highness met scientists exploring how the technology could support drug discovery and help predict extreme weather events. Isambard-AI has been designed with sustainability at its core, using energy-efficient systems to reduce environmental impact. While at NCC, His Royal Highness also saw a paracanoe seat developed for Paralympic champion Emma Wiggs MBE. Picture by Andrew Parsons / Kensington Palace
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.

The computers — called Luna and Surge — are located at computing centers in Reston, Virginia and Orlando, Florida. They are now running at 2.89 petaflops each for a new total of 5.78 petaflops of operational computing capacity, up from 776 teraflops of processing power last year.
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.
NERSC CRAY EDISON SUPERCOMPUTER CLUSTER AT THE OAKLAND SCIENTIFIC FACILITY.
Edison is a Cray XC30 with peak performance of 2.57 petaflops/second, 133,824 compute cores, 357 terabytes of memory and 7.56 petabytes of disk.

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.

Comparing cultural variation two Manga titles - page level.
Each visualization shows 1048576 Manga pages.
Each page represented as a point.
---------------------------------------------
To create visualizations, we measured each page separately on NERSC supercomputers and plotted the results:
X axis - brightness mean
Y axis - entropy
---------------------------------------------
In the middle graph, red points are pages from "Captain Tsubasa" (artist: Takahashi Yoichi)
The graph on the right, red points are pages from "Anatolia Story (artist: Chie Shinohara)
---------------------------------------------
These visualizations demonstrate how cultural analytics allows to analyze and map variability of cultural artifacts (in this case, stylistic variability). The books belonging to Captain Tsubasa have less visual variability than the books of Anatolia Story. Additionally, their distributions have different shapes. While the books of the former all cluster together, the books of the latter form two distinct clusters.

The ACCRC's vegetable oil-powered 31-node supercomputer renders away tirelessly at Maker Faire 2006. Btw, that 7.4 GHz sign was put up when less than half of the nodes were in place; the final cluster was much faster.
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.

This was made on a book release party for Our Little Sea -book (http://panamacollective.typepad.com/ourlittlesea/). Marco is working as a computer operator for a supercomputer and the tattoo is the computer's model.
Ginni Rometty and Dr Eric Brown spoke with more than 600 6th, 7th and 8th graders about the role of technology in everyday lives, and about IBM's Watson supercomputer. The students treated the IBMers like rock stars. Who says IBM isn't cool?

"The National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC) is the flagship scientific computing facility for the Office of Science in the U.S. Department of Energy. As one of the largest facilities in the world devoted to providing computational resources and expertise for basic scientific research, NERSC is a world leader in accelerating scientific discovery through computation. NERSC is located at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Berkeley, California." (source: www.nersc.gov/about/).
In the Fall 2009, we assembled a data set containing 1,074,790 unique manga pages. We then used our custom software system running on a supercomputer at at (NERSC) to analyze visual features of these pages (funded by Humanities High Performance Award from NEH Digital Humanities Office.) Currently we are working on a series of articles which discuss our methods and discoveries - as well as the larger theoretical questions around quantitative analysis of large sets of cultural visual data.
Last week we visited Oakland Scientific Facility (part of NERSC) to present our research and discuss strategies for further collaboration. The visit was organized by Dr. Daniela Ushizima. Daniela who is a member of Analytics/Visualization and Math groups in Computation Research at the Lauwrence Berkeley National Laboratory. She was responsible for getting our project going at NERSC which was no small task. Thank you, Daniela!
