Development of advanced computer technology today is no longer just a dream, the historical development of computer is a stepping stone in the birth of super computers.
Supercomputer is a computer that leads the world in the process of capacity, particularly speed of calculation.
Supercomputers introduced in the 1960s, designed by Seymour Cray at
Control Data Corporation (CDC), led the market in the 1970s until Cray
quit to form his own company, Cray Research.
Quoted from www.kompas.com , China formally signed up as a country that has the fastest supercomputer in the world.
This is the first China-made supercomputer ranked first on the list of
the world's fastest supercomputers was released www.top500.com website
and beat supercomputers made in the United States.
Tianhe-1 or the mean Milky Way, the name of the supercomputer built at the National Supercomputing Centre in Tianjin, exceeding speeds of up to 2.570 petaflop or a trillion calculations per second. In the second place there is a Jaguar, a supercomputer owned by the U.S. Government in Tennessee with the 1.750 petaflop.
Perhaps there are among my friend asked, apasih it is a petaflop?
Petaflop or FLOPS is an abbreviation of the term in English Floating Point Operations Per Second
refers to the unit for the number of calculations can be performed by a
computing device (in this case is a computer) to the fractions
(floating point) per one unit of time.
FLOPS is a unit of measurement of the speed performance of a
microprocessor typically in scientific applications (scientific
applications), such as to calculate / simulate the data in real-time
movement of the Earth.
For example, supercomputers have the ability to perform calculations as
much as 80 million calculations of the fractions in 1 second, and can
be expressed in units of 80 MFLOPS / MegaFLOPS. How sob still confused? If still confused as Tanya wrote google hehehe joking sob.
still in the quotation www.kompas.com , not just a supercomputer to show off China. In the third China-owned supercomputer was there, the Nebulae, at the National Supercomputing Centre in Shenzhen. Supercomputers made ASmemang still dominate the list. Of the 500 units, more than half are in the U.S.. China recorded 42 units exceeded the number of supercomputers and Japan, France, Germany, and England. However, supercomputers in China using a chip made by U.S. companies, such as Nvidia.
Usefulness Supercomputers
Supercomputers are used for calculation-intensive tasks like weather
forecasting, climate research (including research global warming,
molecular modeling, physical simulations (such as simulation of
airplanes in wind tunnels, simulation of the detonation of nuclear
weapons, and nuclear fusion research), analisikrip, etc.. Military and
science agency one of the main users of supercomputers.
Supercomputer design
Supercomputers typically excel in kecepataan of ordinary computers
using an innovative design that makes them able to perform many tasks in
parallel, as well as complex civil detail.
This computer is usually specialize to a particular penghitungn,
typically counting numbers, and the task is generally not a good result.
Memory hierarchy are carefully designed to ensure that processors
continue to receive data and instructions at all times: in fact, the
difference in performance with an ordinary computer is located in the
memory hierarchy and its components. System I / Onya also designed in order to support the bandwidth is high.
How do mate with the Superkompter it? Does the existence of the historical development of computers has given rise to a supercomputer that can be used as is or vice versa? Please remove all the buddies in the comment box.
