Through years of steady investment and research, high performance computing in Europe has started paying returns to many parts of the economy - aerospace, pharmaceuticals, energy, automotive, the environment and climate research. But the best could be yet to come, as computing powers worldwide jump upwards and HPC becomes an essential tool for competitiveness across the European economy. In short, supercomputers will be for all, no longer a few.
The model, called the Nonhydrostatic ICosahedral Atmospheric Model (NICAM), was developed for the supercomputer Earth Simulator at JAMSTEC (Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology

This is the SGI booth at SC07 in Reno. SGI offers high-performance servers, clusters and supercomputers:
Some attendees expressed that SGI's booth created more of a splash that the technology, but there was a buzz impacted by investors and the market:

This is a ad for the Cray-1 supercomputer that is fast as a cheeta!
It was invented in 1976.
Fast and Furious!

TeraShake 2 simulation of magnitude 7.7 earthquake, created by scientists at the Southern California Earthquake Center and the San Diego Supercomputer Center.
Edison Phase I was the original HPCS Cray Cascade system (serial no. 1). It was expanded into Edison Phase II when Cray brought the XC30 platform to market.
John Sloan is a free-lance product developer specializing in embedded and real-time systems. At Wright State University, he led the group that introduced the campus to UNIX and the Internet. At the National Center for Atmospheric Research, he was the head of the section responsible for that national lab’s supercomputers, mass storage system, and server farm. At Bell Laboratories and its spin-offs, John worked as a software engineer on teams to develop and ship several commercial products. John has published an article in the Proceedings of the IEEE, an entry in the Encyclopedia of Computer Science, and many papers and technical reports. John has served on industry and academic advisory panels, has been an invited speaker and panelist, and has served as a visiting scientist and consultant domestically and internationally. He has taught courses in real-time and embedded software development at the undergraduate and graduate level. John has an M.S. and B.S. in Computer Science from Wright State University in Dayton Ohio. He writes under the registered trademark Chip Overclock.
Dr. Guang Gao, a distinguished professor of electrical and computer engineering, along with Professor Roberto Giorgi, an associate professor at the Università degli Studi di Siena in Siena, Italy and primary investigator (Coordinator / Scientific Manager) of the TeraFlux project. The TeraFlux project seeks to exploit dataflow parallelism in teradevice computing and propose a complete solution to harness large-scale parallelism in an efficient way. The University of Delaware recently joined the TeraFlux project and received a grant connected to the project from the EU.
Intel has shipped its 60-core Xeon Phi 5110P coprocessor to selected customers. The coprocessor comes in the form of a PCIe expansion card and operates independently of the host operating system, courtesy of its own Linux operating system that manages each x86 core.

Previously in series: The Ethics of Simulated Beings, Descartes's Malicious Demon and The Simulation Argument.
As previously noted in this series, our entire world may be simulated. For all we know we're sitting on a powerful supercomputer somewhere, the mere playthings of posthuman intelligences.
But this is not the only possibility. There's another way that this kind of fully immersive 'reality' could be realized -- one that doesn't require the simulation of an entire world. Indeed, it's quite possible that your life is not what it seems -- that what you think of as reality is actually an illusion of the senses. You could be experiencing a completely immersive and totally convincing virtual reality right now and you don't even know it.
How could such a thing be possible? Nanotechnology, of course.
The nano neural net
In his book, The Singularity is Near, futurist Ray Kurzweil describes how a nanotechnology powered neural network could give rise to the ultimate virtual reality experience. By suffusing the brain with specialized nanobots, he speculates that we will someday be able to override reality and replace it with an experience that's completely fabricated. And all without the use of a single brain jack.More: www.sentientdevelopments.com/2009/04/welcome-to-machine-p...
