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?

Dad's new video card arrived today.
It's actually a lot more than a video card. It's a supercomputer!
Actually, his old GeForce 8800 GT was a supercomputer, so this one must be a superdupercomputer!
A few factoids just to give you an idea:
The original Cray-1 supercomputer sold for $9 million in 1976 and did 250 megaflops (million floating-point operations per second).
The Cray-YMP, from around 1988, was the last commercially successful Cray supercomputer. It could do some 2.4 gigaflops (billion floating-point operations per second). Dad says he actually programmed for one of those oh so long ago, and at the time (it would have been around 1997) he thought it was like the coolest thing you could do before you die!
A current, top-notch 8-core PC can do about 40 gigaflops.
Dad's old NVIDIA 8800 GT would do some 250 gigaflops for about 200 €.
This baby here, an NVIDIA GTX 285 assembled by Asus, does 500 gigaflops for 300 €... That's about 200 times faster than the Cray YMP, right inside your PC!!!
Give it to me, baby!!! :o)
Cray is based in Seattle. In partnership with Interactive Supercomputing Inc. (ISC), Cray will now offer the Star-P open-parallel computing software platform on its XT4 and XT5 massively parallel processor (MPP), Linux-based supercomputers:

This lady here is a bit different from those we’ve featured in the past! She’s not a bruisin’ brawler or a wonk-eyed wench. No, this gal uses her supercomputer brain and nuclear-powered Thought Fish to rob banks and eat children. She usually works alone but has been known to serve in the employ of a duo of damaged deviants. The power contained in her brain bowl is enough to level 50 city blocks if it were harnessed by the right individual. Let’s pray that individual never steps forward.

The 2 large fans in the foreground pull air in from the bottom of the case and create a positive pressure balance in the case. The smaller fan at the top pulls the air out of the case but the layout of the internals helps promote a natural rise of air in the case even without the fans. With the layout as it is the CPU cooler fan helps pull air up through the case and the RAM cooler is mainly pulling the air from in between the RAM sticks.
The price was $10,101.01, but the article did not want to confuse anyone. I pick the number out because it is a Binary, great for a bid on a SuperComputer. All Digitial computer software are currently made out of 0 and 1.
Young science learners enjoy the cryo show during the Jefferson Lab 2024 Open House. 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.

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!
