The Blue Gene/P supercomputer "Intrepid" at Argonne National Laboratory (pictured 2007) runs 164,000 processor cores using normal data center air conditioning, grouped in 40 racks/cabinets connected by ...
I.R.I.S., the super computer in Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction on the Kreeli comet (2007) Mendicant Bias, an intelligence-gathering AI created by the extinct Forerunner race during their war with the all-consuming Flood parasite, as revealed in Halo 3. Its purpose was to observe the Flood in order to determine the best way to ...
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 ...
Mu (the name of the Greek letter μ) is a prefix in the SI and other systems of units denoting a factor of 10 −6 (one millionth). At the end of 1958, Ferranti agreed to collaborate with Manchester University on the project, and the computer was shortly afterwards renamed Atlas, with the joint venture under the control of Tom Kilburn.
The Earth Simulator, built from SX-6 nodes, was the fastest supercomputer from June 2002 to June 2004 on the LINPACK benchmark, achieving 35.86 TFLOPS. [3] [12] [13] [14] The SX-9 was introduced in 2007 and discontinued in 2015. [15] Tadashi Watanabe has been NEC's lead designer for the majority of SX supercomputer systems. [16]
The Alps supercomputer is a high-performance computer funded by the Swiss Confederation through the ETH Domain, with its main location in Lugano. It is part of the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS), which provides computing services for selected scientific customers. [1] The Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS) was founded in 1991.
It has been surpassed by the Pratyush supercomputer [1] with a maximum theoretical speed of 4.0 PetaFlops. Located at the Satish Dhawan Supercomputing Facility at Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC), Thiruvananthapuram , [ 2 ] it was built using commercially available hardware, open source software components and in house developments.
A PlayStation 3 cluster is a distributed system computer composed primarily of PlayStation 3 video game consoles. Before and during the console's production lifetime , its powerful IBM Cell CPU attracted interest in using multiple, networked PS3s for affordable high-performance computing.
