The most powerful super-computer in the world.
Engineers of the American laboratory Oak Ridge in the US Department of Energy have created a powerful computer called Summit. The computer can carry up to 200 million billion operations per second.
A laboratory employee said that the size of the computer is equal to the area of
two tennis courts, it is built on more than 27,000 GPU chips from Nvidia, and for the cooling system of this "monster" - more than 250 liters of water is used every second. In this case, a total of all nodes receive 220 km of cable.
The performance of the new super machine is twice as high as that of the previously developed Sunway TaihuLight computer in China. The use of new equipment will be in the field of artificial intelligence, for modeling astronomical phenomena, to search for possible links between genes and the development of cancer and drug dependence. In addition, the summit will be involved in climate modeling, which will help improve the efficiency of weather forecasting.
Sunway TaihuLight - in addition to its huge computing speed (supercomputer power - 93 Pflope / sec), it is also known for its huge size - it covers an area of
more than 1000 square meters. The International Conference of 2016, which was held in Germany, recognized this supercomputer as the fastest in the world and still has no serious competitor in this respect. Its speed is three times higher than that of Tianhe-2.
This device has a romantic name Tianhe, which from Chinese means "Milky Way".
Tianhe-2 - was the fastest computer on the list of the 500 fastest and most powerful supercomputers. He can calculate 2507 arithmetic operations, which when transferred to petaflops will be 33.9 pflops / sec. The specialization in which this computer is used is construction, it calculates operations related to the construction and laying of roads. Even at the first start in 2013, this computer does not lose its position in the lists, which proves that this is one of the best machines in the world.
