Computers have often been used as fictional objects in literature, movies and in other forms of media. Fictional computers may be depicted as considerably more sophisticated than anything yet devised in the real world. Fictional computers may be referred to with a made-up manufacturer's brand name and model number or a nickname.
The Sunway TaihuLight (Chinese: 神威·太湖之光 Shénwēi·tàihú zhī guāng) is a Chinese supercomputer which, as of November 2023, is ranked 11th in the TOP500 list, [1] with a LINPACK benchmark rating of 93 petaflops. [2] The name is translated as divine power, the light of Taihu Lake. [3]
Thinking Machines Corporation was a supercomputer manufacturer and artificial intelligence (AI) company, [1] founded in Waltham, Massachusetts, in 1983 by Sheryl Handler and W. Daniel "Danny" Hillis to turn Hillis's doctoral work at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) on massively parallel computing architectures into a commercial product named the Connection Machine.
A Cray-1 supercomputer preserved at the Deutsches Museum. The history of supercomputing goes back to the 1960s when a series of computers at Control Data Corporation (CDC) were designed by Seymour Cray to use innovative designs and parallelism to achieve superior computational peak performance. [1]
The Supreme Intelligence, also known as The Supremor, first appears in Fantastic Four #65 (Aug 1967) and was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. [2] It was introduced as a supercomputer that consisted of the greatest minds of the Kree people for the last million years, and figured as their leader.
Share of processor families in TOP500 supercomputers by year [needs update]. As of June 2022, all supercomputers on TOP500 are 64-bit supercomputers, mostly based on CPUs with the x86-64 instruction set architecture, 384 of which are Intel EMT64-based and 101 of which are AMD AMD64-based, with the latter including the top eight supercomputers. 15 other supercomputers are all based on RISC ...
Nvidia used Selene to train its GauGAN2 AI model, which is used in Nvidia Canvas [14] software to create art using artificial intelligence, using 10 million landscape images for training. [15] GauGAN2 AI model uses segmentation mapping, inpainting, and text-to-image generation in a single model to create art.
Greyhawk, also known as the World of Greyhawk, is a fictional world designed as a campaign setting for the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy roleplaying game. [1] [2] Although not the first campaign world developed for Dungeons & Dragons—Dave Arneson's Blackmoor campaign predated it by about a year [3] —the world of Greyhawk closely identified with early development of the game beginning in 1972 ...
