You see, this supercomputer has been hardcoded into the fabric of Reality, and all those bajillion calculations and processing power are being put to use keeping the Masquerade up. So... no flying cars, I'm afraid.
Lmao I was also instantly thinking of games to play😂 although it wouldn't be that great for gaming because the GPUs in there are absolutely shid at real-time graphics, big sad
@@danparish1344 I mean, there is a difference between optimized for and designed for, and I doubt it would be as good as a 4090TI for gaming, but it would definitely beat a 3070 for example
@@ancient_lawWhy are you mentioning Reddit? And what does washing machine sounds have to do with anything? I swear, someone will make a subreddit about anything.
50 years is an absurd overestimation of how much we'll progress, judging by the slow progress of phones over the past 4 years. We'll have RTX 4090 power in phones by then, probably, but definitely not this until at least 250 years
@@unrenownedc i was saying this in the context that... 50 years from now in the past people had super computer like this size which were less powerful than todays many portable devices....
@@HammadAkhter And to get this powerful of a phone you would need to sacrifice size. Cooling would be a huge issue as well. Unless humans become twice as large to match the phones, they won't be pocket-size. Not to mention power draw, one CPU can only take so much without killing itself.
@@unrenownedcHey I mean thats probably what people fifty years ago thought but lo and behold now we have more computing power than nasa did in the past right in our pockets.
@@unrenownedc yeah that's what they thought at the time of room computer as well. It's not like mining asteroids won't give us a new material which would be able to help Or anything. The advancement of tech only became faster after internet

I had to record a PowerPoint presentation for class once and my chromebook couldn’t even run the transitions. 😂 (the transitions were part of the grade) luckily I had an understanding teacher tho
I saw AMD logo on the boxes. It is hard to imagine that it uses the same kind of "C.M.O.S" technology as todays standard home computers and small business computers. I'd assumed Oakridge National had engineered its own hardware technology.
My question isn't if it can run doom but rather how many dooms can it run? How many instances of doom can run at the same time before it crashes. I'd say at least 3
Your wrong eventually it will become impossible to make microelectronics more powerful then they can be without expansion and change of technology My evidence is Moore's Law
I get the joke, but Minecraft is not designed to use this super-computer power, it could run only on 1 out of his 9472 nodes, which is a bit better then a gaming computer, so it will work the same XD You could however play Minecraft with 9 472 friends on this computer at the same time.
@@someonestupid6385just because it’s not designed for that doesn’t mean that it’s brute force power wouldn’t allow it to run Minecraft better than any other computer on the planet
its not designed for graphics its designed to make difficult calculations with ease im pretty sure if you tried enough you could get more performance with less than a thousandth of the price@@YD_.
if you have a shitty algorithm, throwing more Stuff at it will not work in the long run. These guys are the "Software engineers and computer scientists" you mentioned
The class of simulation and optimization problems that these supercomputers work on can only really be solved through sheer scale. If it's probable that your algorithm is already as optimized as it can get, the only way to go faster is to run it on massively parallel infrastructure. High performance compute is one of the most complex and well respected sub domains in computer science.
No thank you. 🤢 But speaking of energy, I wonder about how much heat that generates. I bet it would have been a lot easier to keep it cool if they had built it up in the Dakotas instead of down in Kentucky. 🏜️/🏔️
Newton and Einstein did all their calculations by hand, and they changed the world as well as our understanding of nature and the universe forever. Today, we have incredibly fast computers, but we are still stuck trying to predict tomorrow’s weather. Amazing tools for engineers who don’t ask the right questions.
Your intuition is right, but Moore's Law has already broken down over the past few years. We're reaching scales of a few atoms per transistor, which means at some point we are going to reach a literal limit for computing power. Progress will become a flattening curve, and then software will have to be optimized instead. Eventually it will reach a point where everything is just very fast, and never gets any faster in ratio to the size. So in conclusion there's no way this supercomputer will be able to fit on your wrist, because the transistors involved will be physically too big - and there'd be a minimum size for computers.
@@ENDESGA You're absolutely right. But wouldn't other breakthroughs in material sciences and quantum computers help delay the flatline in the coming 20-30 years?
@@ENDESGA I agree with you for sure, my comment wasn't entirely serious...but also you are assuming that the future of computing revolves entirely around improving existing technology. We don't know what future breakthroughs will give us. Something like optical transistors will allow a massive jump in speed, but also space, once it is developed fully. Now I'm not entirely sure of the specs of this super computer, I haven't looked into any of this kind of tech in years, it may implement something along these lines already, but if it is based off traditional electrical transistors, I daresay that there is still a lot of possibility for development in the future. But correct me if I'm wrong obviously.
@@aldobonaso3481 From what I read, transistors are already only a few atoms stuck together. So you can't downsize them e.g. 1000 times. Even if you switched technology to something else than electricity (e.g. lasers), you would still need at least 1 atom to hold the state. Unless we are talking about subatomic particles.... By the way, this "supercomputer" is garbage, it does so many operations per second only because it's actually a ton of computers working in parallel. Pathetic achievement, imho.
There's a lot of pictures of summit's cabinets in this clip, which is actually the previous oak ridge leadership system. It's easy to recognize, because it says IBM on the side and is on a concrete slab, while frontier is a cray machine on a raised floor, with double-wide cabinets.
I know one of the engineers who designed The Frontier. It took something like 6 months to construct. Each cabinet also has its own breaker box and each rack a switch for extra failsafe.
Having switches for each cabinet is pretty normal for Servers. I'm just wondering what CPU architecture was used, and who manufactured the CPU's. How much Memory it has. I'm also wondering if this is CPU or GPU based Server. And I wonder overall what computer architecture was used. ARM, X86, RISC or any other ones.
Just trying to figure out why most of the video is from the 2018 IBM based Oakridge Summit system, when Frontier is a Cray/HPE system with plenty of pictures and video available.
@@TheNoiseySpectator Everything about Oakridge Frontier is AMD CPUs and GPUs that are only proprietary in the sense of how they are configured in this Cray based system with a slingshot backend. You can buy very similar configurations from HPE DL or Apollo servers, as well as Dell R7625, Supermicro, etc. Cray and supermicro have one up on the competition, they have the new AMD MI300A (APU), HPE and Dell will not offer this.
Back in my day we had government issued Chromebooks. Those bad boys were so strong, they could handle two chrome tabs for five minutes. That’s why I don’t get all this newfangled technology, who even needs six chrome tabs
It's been proposed that the answer to life, the universe, and everything can't be known at the same time as the question. If anyone ever figures it out, it'll all be replaced by something more confusing. But my question is: How many times has this happened? I suppose 42 would be a sensible answer. It might even explain life, the universe, and everything. (the universe promptly vanishes in a poof of logic)
Not sure they do that. I went to cray supercomputer in the early 2000, they built gigantic super computer that could predict the weather. Is that what the computer actually does? No, that what it could. In the mean time we try to simulate and guess where a golf ball would land, given the players characteristics and the weather.... 😂😂
I think it would be really cool to make a video game in this computer that uses a hyper realistic physics engine that takes into account a quintillion factors per second to basically create a simulation of real life. Basically giving us an exact copy of Earth that can predict the future with all the factors accounted for.
Not possible. But quantum computers can actually simulate real 1.1 physics on an incredibly small scale. Which is insane when you think about what it's simulating.
Our computers ask yes or no and then do the task. If neither is true it delay the question for later in the memory. In the past the programmer would do the task as example asking chatgpt is a manual instruction. The quantum computer is just odd since it has no need of a memory instead it uses processors to store the question for later and the computer is just thinking about the question instead of storing it in a memory. Algoritms putting things into places on airplanes we already made is just wasting time making the same plane over again and call it progress. When the computer is connected to internet it can cheat in every task.
@@AsimosTrioussthats just wrong. Quantum is way and way faster. The only problem is they only build a quantum computer for 1 specific task right now. If you let a supercomputer and quantum race at a specific task quantum computers are 100 million times faster

@@Jaski2116that would be pointless, the human brain is already the most powerful computer we know of. We don’t need a supercomputer in our brains, because our brains are supercomputers

@@rayquarizard2911 a computer can handle millions of complex calculations per second and our brains can probably just handle 1 in 10 seconds.... But we would most likely need some way of cooling our brain from all the heat generated by the tech. So it would be pointless having a huge fan attached to your head😅
