(Phys.org) —Computer scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have set a high performance computing speed record that opens the way to the scientific exploration of complex planetary-scale systems. http://phys.org/news286616513.html Technology Wed, 01 May 2013 08:42:07 EST news286616513 In November 2012, IBM announced that it had used the Blue Gene/Q Sequoia supercomputer to achieve an unprecedented simulation of more than 530 billion neurons. The Blue Gene/Q Sequoia accomplished this feat thanks to its blazing fast speed; it clocks in at over 16 quadrillion calculations per second. In fact, it currently ranks as the second-fastest supercomputer in the world. http://phys.org/news286011986.html Technology Wed, 24 Apr 2013 08:46:35 EST news286011986 It's the end of the line for Roadrunner, a first-of-its-kind collection of processors that once reigned as the world's fastest supercomputer. The $121 million supercomputer, housed at one of the premier U.S. nuclear weapons research laboratories in northern New Mexico, will be decommissioned Sunday. http://phys.org/news283939619.html Electronics Sun, 31 Mar 2013 09:07:08 EST news283939619 (PhysOrg.com) -- Researchers using the OLCF's resources can foresee substantial changes in their scientific application code development in the near future. http://phys.org/news248509227.html Technology Wed, 15 Feb 2012 07:20:07 EST news248509227 Cray Inc. said it has sealed a deal to overhaul the US Department of Energy's "Jaguar" supercomputer, making it faster than any other machine on the planet. http://phys.org/news237615005.html Electronics Wed, 12 Oct 2011 05:10:58 EST news237615005 A Japanese supercomputer has become the fastest in the world, making calculations more than three times faster than a Chinese rival, its developers said Monday. http://phys.org/news227773196.html Electronics Mon, 20 Jun 2011 07:20:10 EST news227773196 China is set to trump the US to take the number one spot for the fastest supercomputer ever made in a survey of the world's zippiest machines, it was reported Thursday. http://phys.org/news207466951.html Electronics Thu, 28 Oct 2010 06:42:55 EST news207466951 (AP) -- Japanese computer maker Fujitsu Ltd. said Wednesday that it has successfully developed the world's fastest supercomputer processing unit with more than twice the speed of the current leader. http://phys.org/news161600187.html Electronics Fri, 15 May 2009 09:56:53 EST news161600187
