@MishalHusain Yes if UK's @ARCHER2_HPC is expanded then the UK might go up the supercomputer #Top500 ranking. UK top supercomputer only ranks 49th. Well behind those funded by 🇪🇺's @EuroHPC_JU programme - @LUMIhpc, #Leonardo and #MareNostrum in top 10.

@MishalHusain Labour have shocked me with the way they have cut some investments with little debate e.g. this super computer, the new hospitals. They are making the same mistake the Tories made, cutting investment to maintain day to day spending.

@MishalHusain Why does it matter to researchers where the supercomputer is located? I don't worry where the computer housing the BBC website is or the computer housing 'X' is located.

@MishalHusain Labour Gov supposedly has stopped the funding ??

@MishalHusain Years ago the equivalent was at National Computing Centre in Manchester. Only hundreds of cpu but still impressive at the time. I once accidentally sent a hard shutdown command to it while it was running loads of jobs. Covered my tracks & ran away before anyone could find out.

What happens when two incredibly dense neutron stars crash into each other? Researchers used a NASA supercomputer to take a closer look at the maelstrom of interacting magnetic structures around neutron stars in the moments before they crash.

You have a quantum computer inside your skull. The most efficient biochemical electromagnetic computer ever designed, with a wider array of processing capability and adaptability than any digital supercomputer ever made Not only this, you have a consciousness with the spark of life which is not just an observer experience, but is increasingly demonstrated to exert a foundational force in the construction and projection of physical reality through interactions with probabilities in the energy fields of this universe. The latent untapped potential inside the human consciousness and mind is far more powerful than we can possibly imagine, and we are still barely leaving the stone age

There are a lot of good Christmas songs, but only one is the best. This song is 11 years old this year, and remains the only Christmas song to ever ask “What does Santa’s neck look like?” Happy holidays, friends.

UNUSUAL CHINA officially surpasses the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Four days ago, China’s HUAWEI announced the world’s fastest supercomputer, LINESHINE, with a speed of 2.1 quintillion operations per second — that’s a 1 followed by 18 zeros. To imagine its scale: running this machine consumes 42 megawatts, enough to power tens of thousands of homes. What does China gain from this supercomputer? 1. It allows China to conduct virtual nuclear tests with extremely high accuracy, reducing the need for real tests — lowering costs and avoiding international restrictions. 2. It can predict natural disasters such as hurricanes and floods before they occur, helping prevent human and material losses. 3. It enables the development of advanced electronic systems that are nearly impossible to decrypt, and can also penetrate enemy systems. 4. It helps discover new materials with superior thermal conductivity, potentially revolutionizing industrial manufacturing, engine systems, satellites, and electronic devices. 5. It strengthens China’s position in artificial‑intelligence dominance, which is considered the most critical step toward global technological leadership. In short, this supercomputer is a factory for minds. The greater a nation’s ability to compute and simulate, the faster it moves from theory to practical application in science and technology.
