IBM Summit :-World's Fastest Supercomputer Explained


IBM Summit or OCLF-4  is a supercomputer developed by IBM for use at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the USA which is currently the world's fastest supercomputer. The supercomputer has unbelievable processing power and storage. So in this article let's decode the world's fastest supercomputer.

 How much Processing power does the world's fastest supercomputer have?
IBM Summit is capable of delivering 200 petaflops per second which are 200 million billion calculations per second. Summit is the world's first supercomputer to reach exaop speed,1.88 exaops during genomic analysis and is expected to reach 3.3 exaops using mixed precision calculations. Just to put it into perspective 1 exa ops= 1000000000000000000 operations  per second
What makes IBM Summit this powerful? The amount of memory, processors IBM Summit Has?

 The IBM Summit has a powerful hardware that delivers this incredible Processing Power. The IBM Summit is powered by 9,216 POWER9 22-core CPUs that are specially designed for multithreading, superscalar operations. A POWER9 processor has 22 cores that are manufactured on the 14nm FinFET Process with a maximum clock speed of 4Ghz.On the GPU Front powering the IBM Summit are 27,648 Nvidia Tesla V100 GPUs.In terms of storage, the IBM Summit has250 PetaBytes(262144000 Gigabyte (GB)) of Memory. The power required to operate this supercomputer is around 13MW. The supercomputer is also the 3rd most energy efficient in the world with a measured power efficiency of 14.668 GFlops/watts. The supercomputer runs on RedHat Enterprise Linux Operating System.

151 MP Camera :-Dope Tech Explained

A 151 MP Camera is something that we could  not imagine a few years ago.But this is made possible thanks to the company"PhaseOne".The PhaseOne XF IQ4 captures ridiculous amounts of deatail. So let's have a look at this Dope Tech. Phase One Camera Specifications Many of the medium frame cameras that try to capture photos above 100 mp use the technique of capturing multiple shots to up the megapixel game rather actually increasing the size of the sensor.PhaseOne however has turned up the camera sensor megapixel game with a staggering 151mp camera sensor that is backside illuminated The camera muster an ISO 50 to 25,600 sensitivity despite the extreme resolution, and you can use both timelapse and bracketing tools independently of the main camera body. The IQ4 also scratches the itch for pro photographers with XQD and SD card slots as well as tethering through Ethernet, USB-C or wireless. If it sounds ridiculously expensive... well, it is. The regula...

Thunderbolt 3 Explained

  The ports on the side of your laptop are important. They decide what you can do on your device and how quickly you can do it. When Apple introduced the first version of the new style MacBook Pro, Apple ditched every single port on its old machines and replaced it with just Thunderbolt 3.Many PCs have now followed suit into the world of Thunderbolt - although it's still relatively few that have gone the whole hog and dumped all other ports the same way that Apple has on the Pro and MacBook Air. So in this article let's understand what's Thunderbolt 3? What is Thunderbolt 3? Thunderbolt 3 is the latest version of Thunderbolt, and it uses the same design as the familiar USB-C connector. This connector is used for simplicity Intel introduced the Thunderbolt platform in 2011 at a time when USB 3.0 was all the rage and could transfer data at speeds up to 5Gbps. Thunderbolt was capable of twice that, plus it could transfer multiple types of data, not just serial data to storage ...

QR Codes Explained

We use QR codes daily for different things like making payments, storing your travel information, visiting websites, connecting to Wi-Fi networks. These barcodes can be captured using smartphones. So in this article let's understand what is a QR code and how do they work. What is QR Code? Qr codes were first developed by a subsidiary of Toyota 'Denso Wave' to quickly track vehicles and parts through the company's automotive manufacturing process.QR code stands for Quick Response Code. Although Denso Wave still holds patents over the technology, QR codes are free for anyone to use without a license fee as long as the intellectual property is being used within the defined ISO/JIS standards.QR codes are machine-readable labels — computers can understand them much more easily than they can understand the text. In 2016 for instance, Snapchat and iMessage introduced support for QR codes as a method of adding new friends, WhatsApp uses QR codes as a quick way to access the de...
