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?

James had just woken up and I think this is the first picture we ever took together. Alas, I'm quite a bit hungover/sleep deprived here, thus the red eyes.

And, yes, I know I have a big head. Thanks for that. I'll get back to you when my supercomputer figures out what number person you are to note that.

Wee Archie - the mini supercomputer made of Raspbery Pi modules. www.icms.org.uk/activities/why-is-life-so-complicated

Albinos vs. the Laptop. Who wins? Not Albino.

Since grid.org is now finished, I'm now donating spare CPU cycles to a new project called Folding@Home.

It's neato.

Local residents from Hampton Roads, Virginia spent the day touring a Department of Energy national laboratory and learned about physics during the 2024 Jefferson Lab Open House held in Newport News, Va., on Saturday, June 8, 2024. (Kandice Carter | Jefferson Lab)

The event provides the public with an ideal opportunity to explore this world-class research facility and features entry into research areas; demonstrations; and numerous exhibits and hands-on activities. During your visit, you can learn about superconducting materials, supercomputers, particle accelerators, particle detectors, nuclear physics research and much more!

Albin har skaffat en elektronisk grej som heter Ipod Touch. Man kan bland annat surfa på internet med den, det är som ett jättestort uppslagsverk.

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.

This is me trying out new things and failing.

Meh, I've got to start somewhere, right?

I also realized how difficult self portraits are without a tripod.
