The World’s Most Powerful Supercomputer Is Almost Here
The World’s Most Powerful Supercomputer Is Almost Here
The next generation of computing is on the horizon, and several new machines may just smash all the records…with two nations neck and neck in a race to get there first.

The ENIAC was capable of about 400 FLOPS. FLOPS stands for floating-point operations per second, which basically tells us how many calculations the computer can do per second. This makes measuring FLOPS a way of calculating computing power.
So, the ENIAC was sitting at 400 FLOPS in 1945, and in the ten years it was operational, it may have performed more calculations than all of humanity had up until that point in time—that was the kind of leap digital computing gave us. From that 400 FLOPS we upgraded to 10,000 FLOPS, and then a million, a billion, a trillion, a quadrillion FLOPS. That’s petascale computing, and that’s the level of today’s most powerful supercomputers.
But what’s coming next is exascale computing. That’s zeroes. 1 quintillion operations per second. Exascale computers will be a thousand times better performing than the petascale machines we have now. Or, to put it another way, if you wanted to do the same number of calculations that an exascale computer can do in ONE second…you’d be doing math for over 31 billion years.

Will China Attain Exascale Supercomputing in 2020?
https://spectrum.ieee.org/computing/hardware/will-china-attain-exascale-supercomputing-in-2020
“Now the United States, China, Japan, and the European Union are all striving to reach the exaflop (1018 ) scale. The Chinese have claimed they will hit that mark in 2020. But they haven’t said so lately.”
ENIAC at 75: Celebrating the World’s First Supercomputer
“So influential has ENIAC been since it was created that it changed electrical engineering and birthed new disciplines in the creative arts and sciences and computer science itself, said Thompson. ‘Everyone’s touched by it,’ he said. ‘Anybody who reads an email.'”
Attack the Climate Crisis with Exascale Supercomputing
“Imagine fitting the entire planet inside a computer. Using the world’s fastest supercomputers and big data models, climate scientists are creating computer models of the Earth’s air, water, and land systems at a global scale.”

finally i can explode tnt world flat without crashing
Wow, this is really exciting
How much i can mine bitcoin using this super computer
So that’s where all the GPUs went
I got so distracted at how much you look like Velma from Scoobie doo! Awesome!
When the guy who made Minecraft RTX recommends a computer.
The computer:
meanwhile, my Dell laptop takes nearly half an hour just to open fb on browser…
What operating system does it run
Westbrook flops more than that computer.
1:37
So what do you mean by us having a speed of hundreds of MegaFLOPS ?
cant his run cyberpunk
Imagine having this to buy bitcoin 😀
Who will be the first hacker to hack one of these?
And the human brain is still better
Yes but can your computer open 16 Roblox clients at the same time?
Okay but can I mine crypto with it
A super computer is a relative thing and what is super in 1945 (ENIAC) is a joke in 2021. The leading super computer of 2021 will be considered a joke in 2076 (the same time forward as backward to the ENIAC).
PS: Pre-order your 3.2 exaFLOP capable iPhone 81ex today.
it can break the 256 encryption key, lol
i have no mouth but i must scream vibes
Hoy en kalkulator er jo fan smartere enn et menske jo for fan.
Will it eliminate, poverty, hunger, disease, greed, violence, crime??? No i dont think so, it will just create more of it!
NVIDIA is about to create a supercomputer dedicated to simulating weather: Earth 2
the world’s most powerful computer is here already, until a better ones comes along ! 🙂
BULLSHIT first programable digital computer was not ENIAC (1946) BUT Colossus (1943)1100 FLOPS even the Colossus mk2 (1944)
Behind the scenes a super quantum computer called the BEAST conecting to all human ships in the hands or forehead, without it won’t be able to by or sell or trevel? 🤔 Is just a curiosity
Hva med fitrenilinering?
You are wrong about the first digital programmable computer. It was NOT the Eniac. It actually was the Z2 built by a German engineer Konrad Zuse who is the inventor of the digital computer.
Can it play roblox whit discord runing in the background? Hahahah
Wrong. They are building quantum computers to break EVERY encryption there is-the capability to monitor everyone and anyone in the world in real time: their finances and records, communications, basically every aspect of a person’s life, up to and including listening in and watching your Nest camera system in and around your own house. Do not think that the advent of these machines is merely for benevolent reasons-far from it, ask Snowden.
0:02 I cannot help but wonder if the person who designed those green spinning wheels showing disk access wasn’t fondly thinking of magnetic tape drives.
This means we can predict earthquakes
This will make an excellent servant
Har dere startet med hexsaflotering?
stop eating Julian’s food!
I like how videos of supercomputers and similar things seem to always show footage of Bitcoin miners…. which are not at all related to supercomputing.
Awesome video …specially computong power relation to common examples …
W.O.W.
Vordan xiplosanoling?
Love the unskippable ads getting fking rediculos🐎💩
As for the question if it can mine bitcoin. Of course it can, and it would be great. It’s just that actually no one will get to use it for that. Just figure out how many times more powerful it is than say a 3090 or some popular graphics card. Then that’s how we could quantify how much it could do. I just don’t feel like figuring it out. Maybe someone could. lol
….. .. .. … … ….. ….. … ……..

Why not put this technology to work and end all the paperwork we get in the friggin mail each day.
It seems safe to assume this scale of rampant development somewhat resembling an arms race would have no effect on the consumer markets or possibly create any shortage of chips.

finally 2 chrome tabs at once
Whats the point of modelling climate change if we dont do anything about it?
wow even super computers have gpu and cpu shortages
what is the most powerfull supercomputer. theoreticaly possible ?
So can I mine crypto with this? Just asking lol
