New record of supercomputers

Engineers at Stanford University, California, USA said they have set a new record in the field of computer science by operating supercomputers with more than 1 million cores.

Researcher Joseph Nichols (of the Turbulence Research Center at Stanford School) used Sequoia IBM Bluegene / Q - a system of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory - that solved the problem of hydrodynamics very complex. noise to predict and handle supersonic jet engine noise. The combined power of more than 1 million sets of computer cores will help design less-noise engines, UPI news agency quoted researchers.

According to Professor Parviz Moin, the calculation of hydrodynamic simulations like Joseph Nichols' solution is extremely complicated. Simulations allow modeling, measuring progress that has been occurring in the harsh emissions environment of jets that conventional equipment cannot access.

This supercomputer shows the explosion of processing capabilities. A few years ago supercomputers connected only a few hundred thousand cores, so far surpassed 1 million numbers with fast speed, high accuracy.
