Ranking by Teraflops
Because supercomputers can achieve over one quadrillion flops, and consumer devices are much less powerful, we’ve used teraflops as our comparison metric.

1 teraflop = 1,000,000,000,000 (1 trillion) flops.

The world's most powerful supercomputer is now up and running | #Research 

The world's most powerful supercomputer is now up and running | #Research  | 21st Century Innovative Technologies and Developments as also discoveries, curiosity ( insolite)... | Scoop.it

After seven years in the works, the world's fastest supercomputer has officially been completed in Japan and is now available for researchers to start using, for projects ranging from fighting climate change to discovering new drugs. 

Builds for the Fugaku supercomputer, hosted at Japanese scientific research institute Riken, started in 2014 in collaboration with Fujitsu, with the device pitched to become a future pillar of the country's high-performance computing infrastructure. 

The delivery of Fugaku's total 432 racks was completed in May 2020; since then, trials of the system have been on-going, mainly with projects aiming to accelerate research to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. The computer is now fully open for shared use, and Japan's Research Organization for Information Science and Technology (RIST) has already selected 74 research projects that will be implemented from next month. 

RIST has also urged researchers to submit proposals for new projects, and invited all applications to be sent in as part of a call for Trial Access Projects.

China's Fusion Reactor Sets World Record by Running for 101 Seconds

China's Fusion Reactor Sets World Record by Running for 101 Seconds | 21st Century Innovative Technologies and Developments as also discoveries, curiosity ( insolite)... | Scoop.it

Fusion reactors like China’s Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) could be the solution to humanity’s energy woes. By harnessing the fusion power of the sun, scientists hope we can generate clean, abundant energy on Earth, but progress over the decades has been slow. Chinese state media has reported that EAST has taken a big step toward making fusion power a reality by keeping plasma at 120 million degrees Celsius for 101 seconds. That’s a new world record, but EAST still doesn’t produce usable power.

Jülich erhält schnellsten Supercomputer Deutschlands mit 12 PetaFLOPS und ist damit eines der schnellsten Systeme weltweit | #Deutschland #ICT #Research 

Jülich erhält schnellsten Supercomputer Deutschlands mit 12 PetaFLOPS und ist damit eines der schnellsten Systeme weltweit | #Deutschland #ICT #Research  | 21st Century Innovative Technologies and Developments as also discoveries, curiosity ( insolite)... | Scoop.it
Das Forschungszentrum Jülich erhält einen neuen Supercomputer für die Hirnforschung. Der von Atos stammende Supercomputer schafft über 12 PetaFLOPS und ist damit eines der schnellsten Systeme weltweit.


Das Forschungszentrum Jülich erhält den neuen Supercomputer BullSequana X1000 von Atos. Dieser ermöglicht Berechnungen mit mehr als 12 PetaFLOPS. Damit ist der Rechner der schnellste Supercomputer Deutschlands. Zum Vergleich: Im Forschungszentrum Garching bei München wird der Supercomputer SuperMUC betrieben. Dieser schafft derzeit 6,8 PetaFLOPS. Allerdings wird das System gegenwärtig ausgebaut und soll dann auf 26,7 PetaFLOPS kommen.


Das System in Jülich wird als Teil des Gauss Centre for Supercomputing vor allem für die Forschung im Human Brain Project zum Einsatz kommen. Dieses soll dabei helfen, mittels Simulationen die Vorgänge im menschlichen Gehirn besser zu verstehen.


Bei dieser Art der Forschung würden komplexe Simulationsmodelle und unstrukturierte Datensätze mit Milliarden von Datenpunkten anfallen. Um derartige Berechnungen durchzuführen, benötige man qualitativ hochwertige, flexible und skalierbare Rechenleistung sowie die passende IT-Infrastruktur, so Prof. Dr.-Ing. Wolfgang Marquardt, Forschungsvorsitzender des Forschungszentrums in Jülich. Der BullSequana biete diese Möglichkeiten und eigne sich deshalb gut für die interdisziplinäre Spitzenforschung.
