The latest listing of the Top 500 rankings of the world’s most powerful supercomputers has just been released. …
As the world is now aware, China is now home to the world’s most powerful supercomputer, toppling the previous reigning system, Tianhe-2, which is also located in the country. …
Weather modeling and forecasting centers are among some of the top users of supercomputing systems and are at the top of the list when it comes to areas that could benefit from exascale-class compute power. …
When considering system and software needs at massive scale, one application area that tends to shed light on what lies ahead is weather prediction and modeling. …
Having access to fairly reliable 10-day forecasts is a luxury, but it comes with high computational costs for centers in the business of providing predictability. …
Not every organization that relies on supercomputers can replace a whole machine in one fell swoop. …
Although weather forecasts are nested into the fabric of our daily lives, it can be easy to forget that to arrive at accurate, long-term predictions takes massive amounts of computing power. …
Just as the fervor died down around the massive deals for forthcoming pre-exascale supercomputers in the United States following the CORAL procurements (most recently, with the announcement of Aurora—the only one of three such HPC deals that is not betting the future on IBM OpenPower systems) the supercomputing spark was stoked again, this time, from across the pond. …
