exascale supercomputer El Capitan
Rabbit nodes are specialized for input/output operations and feature a processor, two peripheral component interconnect express (PCIe) switches and two Slingshot Network Interface Cards (NICs) that provide connectivity beyond the Rabbit and its 16 PCIe compute nodes and connect to high-speed I/O components. Rabbit nodes are incorporated in the architecture of several compute nodes of El Capitan. LLNL-PHOTO-2000017
The Portable Cluster, running Windows Server HPC 2008, kicks back in the Microsoft booth (#709) at LandWarNet 2008.
In 2016, the National Science Foundation (NSF) announced a $30 million award to the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) at The University of Texas at Austin to acquire and deploy a new large scale supercomputing system, Stampede 2, as a strategic national resource to provide high-performance computing capabilities for thousands of researchers across the U.S.

These are memory modules from a Cray supercomputer. The density on these machines was so great that the componenets had to be liquid cooled. Cool Fluorinert would enter via blue tube and exit by red.

The Mellon Institute building was finished in 1937. It is the home of several basic science departments of Carnegie Mellon University. it also houses the Pittsburgh Supercomputer Center. The building is a huge gray Greek-style structure reminiscent of the Parthenon. Pollution and city grime have left their mark on the limestone columns

Yigit Demirag is currently in his senior year of undergraduate studies at Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering at Bilkent University, in Turkey. As an undergraduate, he developed an unsupervised machine learning algorithm requiring advanced signal processing for THz-TDS system in Nanotechnology Research Center, which resulted in a patent preparation. He also worked at BiLCEM supercomputers which doubles the world record in computational electromagnetic to improve load-balancing and reduce memory usage with openMP. During his stay at CERN, he is working on vectorization and SIMD optimization of Random Number Generators on Intel's Haswell Architecture. His twitter account is @yigitdemirag

acoustic lining material to dampen noise and vibration from the good folks at FrozenPC. also visible are the SATA III cables (only 2 of the hard drives are SATA III but the cables are backwards compatible and besides the blue colour is kind of cool!).

BEYOND THE SUPERCOMPUTER
Classical computing has changed the world with multiple revolutions in cloud, AI and Machine learning. But believe it or not, it’s reaching its peak. And so, the promise of Quantum technology is that it has the potential to truly help solve some of our greatest challenges - climate, supply chain shortages and inefficiencies, food insecurity, cyber vulnerabilities, and destabilization of economies. What will it take to really get there and how far are we anyway?

The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) — a planet-scale array of eight ground-based radio telescopes forged through international collaboration — was designed to capture images of a black hole. In coordinated press conferences across the globe, EHT researchers revealed that they succeeded, unveiling the first direct visual evidence of the supermassive black hole in the centre of Messier 87 and its shadow. The shadow of a black hole seen here is the closest we can come to an image of the black hole itself, a completely dark object from which light cannot escape. The black hole’s boundary — the event horizon from which the EHT takes its name — is around 2.5 times smaller than the shadow it casts and measures just under 40 billion km across. While this may sound large, this ring is only about 40 microarcseconds across — equivalent to measuring the length of a credit card on the surface of the Moon. Although the telescopes making up the EHT are not physically connected, they are able to synchronize their recorded data with atomic clocks — hydrogen masers — which precisely time their observations. These observations were collected at a wavelength of 1.3 mm during a 2017 global campaign. Each telescope of the EHT produced enormous amounts of data – roughly 350 terabytes per day – which was stored on high-performance helium-filled hard drives. These data were flown to highly specialised supercomputers — known as correlators — at the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy and MIT Haystack Observatory to be combined. They were then painstakingly converted into an image using novel computational tools developed by the collaboration.

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.
