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.

CDC 7600 (serial number 1), Control Data Corporation, 1971
Memory: 512K (60-bit) Core
Speed: 36 MFLOPS
Cost: $5,000,000
“The CDC7600 was the follow on to the 6600, designed by Seymour Cray. About five times faster than the CDC 6600, scientific and government institutions primarily used both machines to execute large mathematical programs written in FORTRAN. Scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory used this machine to design nuclear weapons and, like most CDC customers, wrote much of their own software. A very large machine, the 7600 had over 120 miles of hand-wired interconnections. It was Freon cooled.”

Together with other racks with IBM pSeries 690 machine this configuration forms a supercomputer.
What you see is the back of one rack with an IBM 7040-681 pSeries machine.
This one tile can do 9 quadrillion floating point calculations per second, optimized for AI training. I saw it up close today.
Each 15kW tile holds a 5x5 array of blocks, each with 12 D1 multi-chip-module stacks, with RF shielding between them. These are custom AI chips by Tesla, with 362 teraFLOPS per block. Connectors around the perimeter provide 36Tb/s of inter-tile bandwidth.
The Dojo ExaPod supercomputer has 120 of these tiles, for 1.1 exaFLOPS of AI-optimized compute.
February 11, 2013 - NREL scientists Michael Crowley and Antti-Pekka Hynninen have developed algorithms that speed calculations done by the software tool CHARMM by several orders of magnitude, using code such as the one pictured. Using NREL's new petascale supercomputer housed in the Energy Systems Integration Facility, they can simulate the motions of thousands of atoms, leading to greater understanding of how molecular models work.

You know the kind of Christmas lights where one burned-out bulb causes the whole strand to go out? This shot of the inside of the CDC 6600 (designed by Seymour Cray) shows what happens when the same design is applied to mid-1960's supercomputers.
This is a CRAY-1, an early example of a class of computers called "supercomputers." It was built by Cray Research, Inc. of Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, and installed at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, Colorado. Unlike most computers, it was hand-wired, and its circuits were arranged in a three-quarters circle. Both helped increase the speeds at which signals travel from one part of the computer to another. Hefty power supplies are located below each of the circuit bays, and the padding on them suggests a piece of lounge furniture.
At NCAR, the machine was used between 1977 and 1983, where it performed complex calculations involving the numerical modeling of weather phenomena. As the speeds of ordinary workstations increased over the years, it became obsolete and was donated to the Smithsonian.
It's kind of amazing to see everything to do reduced to two racks of machines. Even more so when you know just how much that is they do.
Mainframe is a central processing unit and primary memory of a computer.
IBM mainframes are large computer systems produced by IBM since 1952. During the "1960s" and "1970s", IBM dominated the large computer market. Current IBM computers are developments of the basic design of the IBM System/360.
Difference between super computer and Mainframe:-
A supercomputer is a powerful computer which is used for processing data at fastest possible speed. where as for a mainframe it is to deal with extensive amount of data.
Advantages Of MAINFRAME:-
1)Security
2)Reliability and Availability
3)High level Computing
4)Problem Solving
5)Long lasting performance
Applications of Mainframe:
Mainframe computers are primarily used by large organizations for critical applications
such as bulk data processing used in banking sector,Insurance,Financial Services,Airway Reservations,Payroll Process,Telecom sector etc.
IBM Mainframe and Associated Technologies:-
1)CICS stands for Customer Information Control System. CICS was developed in 1968 by IBM. CICS allows users to develop and execute online application in an MVS environment. CICS has become the most commonly used server for Internet applications. CICS is a transaction processing system which is also called as Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) Software.
CICS is a data communication system that can support a network containing hundreds of terminals.
2)COBOL stands for Common Business Oriented Language.The US Department of Defense, in a conference, formed CODASYL (Conference on Data Systems Language) to develop a language for business data processing needs which is now known as COBOL.
COBOL is used for writing application programs and we cannot use it to write system software. The applications like those in defense domain, insurance domain, etc.
which require huge data processing make extensive use of COBOL.
3)DB2 provides you the basic understanding of concepts of database, database installation and management.
4)IMS stands for Information Management System. IMS was developed by IBM with Rockwell and Caterpillar in year 1966 for the Apollo program to send a man to the moon. It started the database management system revolution and still continues to evolve to meet data processing requirements. IMS provides an easy-to-use, reliable, and standard environment for executing high-performance transactions.
IMS database is used by high-level programming languages like COBOL to store data in hierarchical arrangement and access it.
5)Job Control Language (JCL) is the command language of Multiple Virtual Storage (MVS), which is the commonly used Operating System in the IBM Mainframe computers. JCL identifies the program to be executed, the inputs that are required and location of the input/output and informs the Operating System through Job control Statements. In mainframe environment, programs can be executed in batch
and online modes. JCL is used for submitting a program for execution in batch mode.
6)VSAM stands for Virtual Storage Access Method. VSAM is a file storage access method used in MVS, ZOS and OS/390 operating systems. It was introduced by IBM in 1970's. It is a high performance access method used to organize data in form of files in Mainframes. VSAM is used by COBOL and CICS in Mainframes to store and retrieve data.
VSAM makes it easier for application programs to execute an input-output operation.

Unicomp Customizer 104 keyboard. This is the current version of the classic IBM model M keyboard. Unicomp took over the rights to make the keyboard when Lenovo stopped making the keyboards after being bought out by a Chinese company and they are still making these 'Clickety clack" beauties in Lexington Kentucky. You either love or hate these but if you do like 'em they are amazing. (please see the description of the set 'Super 'puter' for more info.
The Cray was a supercomputer designed with functionality in mind: as in, this thing is huge, let's build a bench around it so people can chill out! There's actually machinery underneath the cushion part. Here, I am sitting on it.
Der Zugang zur "Königin"
Supercomputer sind laut, lange sollte man nicht ohne Gehörschutz drinbleiben.
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.
