Over the decades there have been many denominations coined to classify computer systems, usually when they got used in different fields or technological improvements caused significant shifts. While ...

There's no one answer to how many types of supercomputers there are. You can split supercomputers into different sets by architecture, processors, performance, use, or all four, which will get you a ...

Moscow State University (MSU) in Russia has installed a new supercomputer, called MSU-270, dedicated to artificial intelligence (AI). According to MSU, the new system has 400 "AI" petaflops of ...

Engineers are preparing to send a new kind of supercomputer-grade chip into orbit, not as a science-fiction prop but as a practical tool that could reshape how satellites, networks, and even everyday ...

Even if you've never actually seen a supercomputer, odds are that movies and pop culture have given you a good idea of what they do, what they're used for, and maybe even what they look like. The U.S.

When you think of supercomputers, you probably think of vast air-controlled rooms crammed full of cabinets and illuminated by banks of flashing LEDs. The first Cray supercomputer, for instance, cost ...

A group of South Korean researchers has developed a floating point accelerator chip, which is a core technology for supercomputers. Developed for the first time domestically, the accelerator chip ...

Most AI training activity is now focused around the huge resources available to the tech giants, who build virtual supercomputers in their clouds. But in earlier days, research was largely carried out ...

As we talked about a decade ago in the wake of launching The Next Platform, quantum computers – at least the fault tolerant ones being built by IBM, Google, Rigetti, and a few others – need a massive ...

Integrating quantum computers into U.S. world-class supercomputers is now a strategic imperative for U.S. technological leadership in the next era of computing. Hybrid systems will synergize classical ...
