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 a ...
Approaches to supercomputer architecture have taken dramatic turns since the earliest systems were introduced in the 1960s. Early supercomputer architectures pioneered by Seymour Cray relied on compact innovative designs and local parallelism to achieve superior computational peak performance. [ 1 ]
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]
A supercomputer is a computer at the leading edge of data processing capability, with respect to calculation speed. Supercomputers are used for scientific and engineering problems (high-performance computing) which crunch numbers and data, [34] while mainframes focus on transaction processing. The differences are:
Tesla Dojo is a supercomputer designed and built by Tesla for computer vision video processing and recognition. [1] It is used for training Tesla's machine learning models to improve its Full Self-Driving (FSD) advanced driver-assistance system.
HPE Frontier at the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility is the world's first exascale supercomputer. Exascale computing refers to computing systems capable of calculating at least 10 18 IEEE 754 Double Precision (64-bit) operations (multiplications and/or additions) per second (exa FLOPS)"; [1] it is a measure of supercomputer performance.
AWS unveiled a new line of its own AI chips and plans for a supercomputer at its Re: Invent conference, signalling a shift away from Nvidia.
Quizlet made its first acquisition in March 2021, with the purchase of Slader, which offered detailed explanations of textbook concepts and practice problems, and eventually incorporated it into its paid platform, Quizlet Plus. [23] [24] [25] In November 2022, Quizlet announced a new CEO, Lex Bayer, the former CEO of Starship Technologies. [26]
