    At 200 petaflops, the US once again owns the world's fastest supercomputer




    On Friday, the world’s fastest supercomputer – Summit – made its debut at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The monster machine packs a staggering 27,648 Volta Tensor Core GPUs and 9,216 CPUs into 5,600 square feet of cabinet space that’s similar in size to two tennis courts. It weighs nearly as much as a commercial jetliner and is connected by 185 miles of fiber optic cables.
    "Its software will write software, amazing software that no human can write."

    ...and no human can understand! This is where we start to lose control of computers...

    "The machine, built for the US Department of Energy, will assist scientists with research in the fields of materials discovery, high-energy physics, healthcare and more."

    BULLSHIT.


    And "MORE" is right. DOE doesn't need all that; it's just the cover story.

    Here it comes, people.

    Thanks for that. If his chart (2009) had included the last 10 years - it would have reflected exponential growth path cause it's sure as hell up there now.

    Doesn't DOE cover some of the military projects?
    "Every person’s life is theirs by right. An individual’s life can and must belong only to himself, not to any society or community, or he is then but a slave. No one can deny another person their right to their life, nor seize by force what is produced by someone else, because that is stealing their means to sustain their life. It is treason against mankind to hold a knife to a man’s throat and dictate how he must live his life."
