Intel Advances Scientific Research and Performance for New Wave of Supercomputers

Using the combination of the most powerful CPU, GPU and AI Acceleration from Intel Advances Scientific Research and Performance for New Wave of Supercomputers. Rjluna2 (talk) 19:15, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

AI

Possibly include a section on the use of "supercomputers" for generating, training, and processing "AI" models. The applications section is currently tagged as a stub, so this could also go there. Silvanathecat (talk) 23:35, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Update of Top500 list

The TOP500 list show here as a table is two years old. Changes have occurred. Update is needed. BBCLCD (talk) 16:11, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Plus the list in the lede says one in Italy & Spain while the table shows two in Italy and none in Spain. Mr Larrington (talk) 09:47, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please consider adding: Using greywater to cool supercomputer systems - insights from Los Alamos Laboratory

Under "Energy and heat management" , please consider adding this summary and citation.

Summary: To improve the eco-friendliness of supercomputing, experts at Los Alamos Laboratory experiment with using room-temperature greywater (as opposed to chilled freshwater) to cool the Trinity, Crossroads, and Venado supercomputers, with favorable results. Supercomputers Keep Getting Super-er | Los Alamos National Laboratory

Full Text appears under subtitle, "Fitting In": Whereas a laptop has a fan to cool its processor, a supercomputer needs a whole building’s worth of infrastructure to keep it cool (and large crews of workers to install and maintain that infrastructure.) A recent move to greywater for cooling is an innovative and ecofriendly feather in the Lab’s HPC cap. Rather than using chilled freshwater to cool Trinity, the Lab has been experimenting with the use of room-temperature greywater. It has worked so well, conserving both electricity and potable water while doing the job of keeping the processors cool, that Crossroads and Venado are being installed with similar systems.

There lacks the concept of analog computers as it is historically important

and might also play a role in future again. 90.186.222.20 (talk) 17:52, 24 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
