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.

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.

ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. (Oct. 16, 2015) -- The U.S. Army introduced its newest supercomputer, Excalibur, which will help to ensure Soldiers have the technological advantage on the battlefield, officials said.
The Excalibur is the 19th most powerful computer in the world. About 50 officials gathered for a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the U.S. Army Research Laboratory Department of Defense Supercomputing Resource Center.

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.
In this 2012 photo, technicians are hard at work installing the Graphic Processing Units that will transform the Jaguar supercomputer into today’s Titan.

The 6600 was followed by the 7600 - similar in architecture and almost compatible, and using much higher density electronics.
Externally, the blue-glass-and-wood scheme was reminiscent of a much earlier computer, the Telefunken TR4 which came in Mahogany-and-smoked-glass.

SANDIA SCIENTIST POINTS TO UNCLASSIFIED ENCRYPTOR CHIP, WORLD'S FASTEST ENCRYPTION DEVICE.
THE DEVICE, DEVELOPED AT SNL, ENCRYPTS DATA AT MORE THAN 6.7 BILLION BITS PER SECOND-----10 TIMES FASTER THAN ANY OTHER KNOWN ENCRYPTOR. IT IS MEANT TO PROTECT DATA BEING TRANSMITTED FROM SUPERCOMPUTERS, WORKSTATIONS, TELEPHONES, AND VIDEO TERMINALS. THE DEVICE WAS NOMINATED FOR A 1999 R&D 100 AWARD.

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!

This was one of the first "super computers" ever built (for the geek in all of you). The Science Museum of London had all this cool geek/ science stuff which was awesome. Nina wasn't too impressed. ;-)
A team led by Michael Bussmann, group leader of the Computational Radiation Physics group at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) German research laboratory, recently studied ion acceleration driven by high-intensity lasers using the Cray XK7 Titan supercomputer at the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility (OLCF), a US Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science User Facility at DOE’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL).
Now the team has performed a simulation of a novel laser target that not only describes the physics behind the acceleration but also shows significant agreement with experiments performed by scientists at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (LMU).
Thomas Kluge, staff scientist in Bussmann’s group, said simulations on high-performance computing (HPC) resources can lead scientists to an understanding of how to optimize the laser-driven ion acceleration process by altering the initial laser and target conditions.

The Trinity supercomputer is designed to provide increased computational capability for the NNSA Nuclear Security Enterprise in support of ever-demanding workloads, e.g., increasing geometric and physics fidelities while maintaining expectations for total time to solution.
The capabilities of Trinity are required for supporting the NNSA Stockpile Stewardship program's certification and assessments to ensure that the nation's nuclear stockpile is safe, reliable, and secure.
