A supercomputer is a workstation at the forefront of contemporary transforming limit – especially speed of count which can happen at velocities of nanoseconds. Supercomputers were presented in the 1960s, made at first and, for a long time, fundamentally by Seymour Cray at Control Data Corporation (CDC), Cray Research and ensuing organizations bearing his name or monogram. While the supercomputers of the 1970s utilized just a couple of processors, in the 1990s machines with many processors started
1 .Introduction The purpose of this report is to study the current state of supercomputers and to briefly discuss predicted advancements in the field..A brief history about the supercomputer and its operation is initially outlined. Supercomputers are the supreme machines in the computer world. Supercomputers includes thousands of times the computing power of a desktop and cost several millions of dollars. They fill large halls, which are chilled to prevent their thousands of microprocessor cores
The Cray X-MP/22 manufactured by Cray Research Incorporated (CRI) of Minneapolis, Minnesota was delivered and installed at the U of Toronto this September. The Cray is a well respected computer - mainly for its extremely fast rate of mathematical floating-point calculation. As the university states in its July/August computer magazine "ComputerNews", the Cray's "level of performance should enable researchers with large computational requirements at the university of Toronto and other Ontario universities

SuperComputers CT0267018 FTDIPIT45 Introduction Supercomputers is founded at 1960s by Seymour Roger Cray at control data coportation, and it have been used for science and design. Supercomputers is the fastest computer among all computers such as embedded computers, personal comnputers, servers and mainframes. Supercomputers have high speed and large amount of processors in it. Supercomputers are used for large companies or corporation. Supercomputer speed are measured in FLOPS or floating point
calculator to the most powerful supercomputer, computers give man an edge over his/her rivals. Technology is all about being one step ahead of others. Being able to do advanced math before your opponents allows you to gain a strategic advantage in corporate competition or global politics. Supercomputers can compute missile trajectories while at the same time can be used to look for oil. The movie Hackers takes that into account when it refers to Gibson supercomputers being used to search for oil.
is key to extracting the full computational capability of a computing system. Without a high performance, energy-efficient interconnect, an Exascale system would be more like the millions of individual computers in a data center, rather than a supercomputer. Programming tools, compilers, debuggers, and performance enhancement tools will all play a big part in how productive a scientist is when working with an Exascale system. Without increasing programming
Named after IBM’s first CEO Thomas J. Watson, Watson is a supercomputer able to answer questions posed in natural language. It first became famous in early 2011 for beating a couple of the best players of Jeopardy in a 3 day streak game. He beat Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter, the first had 74 winnings in a row and the second had earned a total of $3.25 million. At the time Watson was about the size of a room. It was hot and very noisy because of the cooling systems. He was represented in the room
computer technology is quite positive which can be seen from the current usage and developments in this field. It has become one. The world is seemingly driven today by computers. From the 'computer' on your car, to the PC at home, to the large supercomputers that help predict the weather, computers are everywhere. It is a field that is in constant need of trained professionals looking for jobs with high-tech skills and positive career advancement. ("Computers in the future may weigh no more than 1
The computer science field is one of the fastest advancing technological fields in today’s day and age, with new discoveries and research happening on a daily basis. Computers and their applications are in constant flux, as we create more efficient ways to profess electronic information. With a field changing so rapidly, we must remember and continue to study the roots these advancements if we are to understand all of the new material being produced. Although we focus on the western computer scientists
Paleontological Audio Technology In very recent years the advances in science and technology we have made have been incredible; from cloning sheep and human tissue to almost completing the human genome, the scientific community has taken great steps with the help of technology. One such area in this community is the study of geology. Computers aid geologists in determining the best places to drill for oil and natural gas, along with trying to determine mineral deposits and the compositions of
"The sad thing about artificial intelligence is that it lacks artifice and therefore intelligence." - Jean Baudrillard John Searle is an established author and professor. He has written books about language and understanding. He wrote Speech Acts (1969), The Mystery of Consciousness (1997), and Rationality in Action (2001). Searle is the Willis S. and Marion Slusser Professor of the Philosophy of Mind and Language at the University of California, Berkeley. (214) John Searle wrote an article
What if there was a way to upload your brain to a computer and to control it from there. What if you can upload it to a computer substrate and then control a robot with it. Mind uploading is what this is talking about it, but it would be impossible to do it right now with the technology we have right now. With mind uploading being fully developed it could open so many opportunity such as having a prolonged life. There could even be a creation of a whole new virtual world from the creation of mind

Classifications of Computers According to the U.S. Census "Forty-four million households, or 42 percent, had at least one member who used the Internet at home in 2000" (Home Computers 2). Today, no doubt, even more family members in the United States use computers. Most people are aware of the desktop computers which can be found in the home and in the workplace. What are the different types of computers and what are their purposes? Computers can be classified into three different categories of
recreate dinosaurs and use them as attractions for the public. Hammond wanted the park to be run by a small staff in order to save money and increase the efficiency. To make this work, he designed almost all of the park to be controlled by a supercomputer that would work all the park’s functions. The computer, however, had several bugs which led to the disastrous result of letting the dinosaurs loose. This novel was written during the information age when the world was becoming interested in using
users to make online bookings. Supercomputers are high performance systems used for multiprocessing. They are the most expensive and largest of all computer system types. They are also the least common. They are usually found a large ventilated rooms sometimes the size of a building. Supercomputers like mainframes can be found in business and real-time. Business - Companies and governments use supercomputers for research and exploration. NASA uses supercomputers for space shuttle launches, control
Watson: The Extraordinary Computer. Technology has been able to make life easier and more comfortable for humans, plants and animals. Artificial Intelligence on the other hand has been able to solve some problems beyond human capacity. Artificial intelligence alongside natural intelligence is what Stephen Hawking uses for his creative thinking and to communicate. Artificial intelligence is more than just computers and software. Over the years, computers have been developed in terms of size, shape
Categories of Computers and Components of a Computer Categories Personal Computers A Personal Computer (PC) is a computer that is generally only used by one person at a time. A PC with the help of a user is able to perform all of its output, input, storage, and processing activities by itself. (1) There are many types of PCs that include Laptops and Desktop. Laptops sometimes called notebooks are a portable type of computer that is designed fit into a person’s lap and comes in many different sizes
