The Pegasus was a supercomputer built by Manchester-based Ferranti in 1959. 40 examples were built through 1962, and this was the 25th, built for Skandia Insurance in Sweden. It was one of the first computers to be mass-produced, rather than being built by research institutions as a one-off; its price in 1959 was £45,000, at a time when an average Manchester home was said to be just £1,200.
The Pegasus used vacuum tubes as flip-flop switches; modern computers use transistors in silicon chips. This is considered to be the last vacuum tube computer that still works.
The Pegasus was used for such calculations as the stress load on the Comet airliner fuselage (during the investigation for its breakups), structural load on such buildings as the Sydney Opera House, and guided missile trajectories.

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 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.
Auburn’s School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences has launched a new degree in geospatial and environmental informatics, or GSEI. The university’s supercomputer will help researchers to run past, present and future climate simulations, analyze very large data sets and manipulate global satellite data and imagery. Pictured, from left, are Assistant Professors Sanjiv Kumar and Susan Pan and Research Associate Jia Yang, who are shown studying climate model outputs from Auburn’s supercomputer.
Year 3010 ...
"Since 2010, Terra began an era of modernization. Wars have stopped, people started to be more understanding and technology has evolved considerably. New technologies, new engines, new chips, new supercomputers but the same energy source . Therefore hazardous emissions and harmful gas emissions have destroyed vegetation. There is only one season: summer. cities are overcrowded and congested roads. Giving up cars people replace them with mechas spaceships. Pedestrian areas are becoming more narrow. The buildings continue to grow vertically. Life is prospering, but is supported by huge generators that produce the oxygen needed for living. People began to understand finally about the environment and try, as much as possible to walk and use less energy. The year 3010 started well, people realizing that not everything is lost and that there can be done something. "

Large-scale computational investigation aiming at better understanding how the cerebrospinal fluid streams through the subarachnoid space of the optic nerve. Impaired flow is a determining factor to different pathologies, including papilledema and glaucoma. To better understand the flow structure, the optic nerve region was removed from the picture. Since the Reynolds number is very small, the flow can be visualized with streamlines, which are coloured logarithmically according to their velocity magnitude. The flow-structure interaction is solved with a pseudo-spectral solver and the use of the Helvetios supercomputer at EPFL. Cerebrospinal fluid is the region depicted in green.
Comparing cultural variation between two Manga titles - book level.
Each visualization shows 62172 Manga books.
Each book represented as a point.
---------------------------------------------
To create visualizations, we measured each page separately on NERSC supercomputers and plotted the results by averaging values for all pages belonging to each book:
X axis - brightness mean
Y axis - entropy
---------------------------------------------
In the middle graph, red points are books from "Captain Tsubasa" (artist: Takahashi Yoichi)
The graph on the right, red points are books 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.

In keeping with a topic broached earlier, I present the above headline and a few brief quotes from the June 16,2010 edition of the Wyoming State Tribune, Cheyenne's newspaper of record.
Cheyenne, my home town, once again goes bonkers over a new "business". Very high tech, extremely modern and green and all that, but sadly, typical for Cheyenne which plays host to a number of large corporate entities with small local employee bases. The Echostar (Dish Network) worldwide satellite uplink array is a good f'rinstance.
During construction this facility will employ a respectable number of local and regional workers and artisans and upon completion will "serve more than 1,000 educators, students and researchers as they study oceanography, climate change and severe weather forecasting," and none of whom will ever even visit Cheyenne, let alone know where it is, pay any property taxes or buy their groceries there.
It also will provide an archive for historical climate records. This kinda has an Al Gore stench to it if you ask me.
I'm not dissing Cheyenne, or NCAR or or Barack Obama or anyone, really, it just struck me as rather telling that there are no less than ten "ground breakers" (aka incumbent politicians) shown here for a $70 million facility that will have a permanent staff of about twenty, including the janitor.
Oh, and it will contain half a billion dollars worth of computer equipment, all purchased out of state, which will operate at a blinding 1.5 petaflops, "...the second-fastest in the world right now, behind a Department of Energy machine at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and one spot ahead of a supercomputer in China."
*A petaflop is a quadrillion operations per second. Fast enough to handle Super Mario Brothers, for sure!
