More powerful then the top 5 supercomputers combined! - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

And they still are going to be adding 100,000 cores!

Geez. And isn't Oak Ridge in the process atm of upgrading their stuff to take back the #1 spot?

**sXVUOUVC** · 06-21-2011, 01:18 AM

548,352 cores!!! [shocked]

**unatkot** · 06-21-2011, 01:33 AM

I wonder what they plan to use it for?

**clomoll** · 06-21-2011, 01:38 AM

I wonder what they plan to use it for?

Maybe tracking climate change, caused by supercomputers.

**FsQGF1Mp** · 06-21-2011, 01:38 AM

it powers 10,000 homes! [rofl]

Quantum comps are required, this is insane.

**Styparty** · 06-21-2011, 02:16 AM

I wonder what they plan to use it for?

To power the Matrix? It's not easy integrating human minds into a photo-realistic virtual existence. Unfortunately the physics it will still be powered by nVidia PhysX

**gypearteday** · 06-21-2011, 02:27 AM

I wonder if it can run crysis at max settings....

**mussmicky** · 06-21-2011, 02:37 AM

I wonder if it can run crysis at max settings....

It could probably do it in software mode...

...and spanned across 1000 monitors

Scores about 793,500 BungholioMarks

**unatkot** · 06-21-2011, 02:52 AM

I bet it still won't be able to predict the next inevitable earthquake. Zing.

**Illirmpipse** · 06-21-2011, 02:52 AM

Ouch.

**FsQGF1Mp** · 06-21-2011, 02:59 AM

not only that:
1) they cant cure cancer with it
2) they cant cure aids with it,
3) they cant cure any dicease with it,
4) they can not prodict anything with it
5) they CAN provide left wing associations their right in thinkin,
6) they CAN show later on their thinking was wrong!

the only thing a supercompater is required is to kinf of the hill, max e-penis size, i am taller than you! Na-na-na-na-naah

Actually they do have a lot of uses which require a gigantic amount of computational power such as quantum physics. It was also a super computer that found out the question the the famous "Who came first, the chicken or the egg".

For those who don't know the answer, IIRC, it was the chicken.

I wonder if its more powerful than 10,000 homes worth of computers

False, Schrödinger's cat ate the first chicken.

**erubresen** · 06-21-2011, 06:39 AM

consumes enough electricity to power about 10,000 homes for a full year Can someone translate this?

**slima** · 06-21-2011, 06:54 AM

Can someone translate this?

Maybe he means the amount of power necessary to run this computer is equivalent to the amount of power needed to power 10,000 homes. Of course who is to say what size home he is talking about.

**erubresen** · 06-21-2011, 06:57 AM

For a full year? Why not 1 minute? 1 day? What would be the difference?

Energy is not power. Any writer that does not know this should not be writing about it, it really brings the validity of the entire article down.

**mussmicky** · 06-21-2011, 07:01 AM

It's roughly 1.21 gigawatts
