IBM's development of a new generation of supercomputers

"Titan" works fast 17.59 beta FLOPS / second, while the next supercomputer speed of up to one hundred beta FLOPS / second

Noon term hacks computing the first time in 1929, and expresses the huge computers with enormous capacity, which includes thousands of processors related to them, and operate simultaneously for processors massive data, such as meteorological data and analysis of the possibilities and simulate the movement of molecules and genetics geological and environmental research.

And measured processing supercomputers to data unit "beta FLOPS" which is equivalent to a thousand trillion calculations per second speed, and focus supercomputers to complete the calculations very quickly, and retracts its paces when it comes to processors of large quantities of massive data, which is the enormous and complex to the point of data difficult to deal with conventional treatment tools.

And tops the list of five hundred most powerful computer in the world currently supernatural Chinese computer "Tianhe-2" quickly 33.86 beta FLOPS / second, followed by Alhacopan Alomarkiyan "Titan" fast 17.59 beta FLOPS / second and "Sequoia" fast 17.17 beta FLOPS / second, and then the Japanese Computer "Ki computer "fast 10.51 beta FLOPS / second, then the US" Mira "fast 8.59 beta FLOPS / second.

Seeks "IBM" to design the next generation of supercomputers in a way that reduces the need to transfer data from the memories and processors, and got $ 325 million in exchange for providing the US government in the strongest two computers superheroes at all by the year 2017 with reference to it from the assumed development both Titan and Sequoia and Mira.

And was named the Sierra

The company is calling a Alhessobn's Name "called" (Summit) is working on is designed to help researchers necessary to simulate nuclear reactors, data processing, and modeling of climate change, the US government is planning to install in a Department of Energy laboratory in Tennessee.

The Ripper II carries the name "Sierra" (Sierra) and designed to help researchers lab, "Lawrence Livermore" national in California to conduct tests and research related to nuclear weapons.

And supports both Alhessobn on what she called the company to "architecture based on data" that helps power distribution and allows the manipulation of data at different points in the same time instead of transferring data from one point to another within the system, without the company shows more details about this method.

This architecture provides a solution to the problems facing the most powerful super-computers in these days, namely the difficulty of dealing with massive data, where these computers to restore the data from the memories and transfer them to processors for analysis, which slows down the processing speed when dealing with massive amounts of data.

The focus in the coming new architectural supercomputers from "IBM" on the effective energy consumption, where more than consumption, "called" energy in "Titan" by 10%, but in return offers a treatment several times higher capacity.

It is expected to have a stronger title Alhacopan next couple of superheroes two computers in the world, is expected to come forward quickly to address up to one hundred beta FLOPS / second, which is equivalent to one hundred thousand trillion calculations per second, so the strength to go beyond computer Titan Ripper more than five times.
