美国能源部和英特尔公司宣布,运算速度高达每秒1万亿次的超级并行处理计算机已经问世,计算机运算世界记录被再次改写。这一振奋人心的科研成就标志着计算机并行处理技术又取得了新的突破,超级巨型计算机的发展开始迈入新的历程。 据悉,这部耗资达5300万美元的计算机是美国能源部去年9月委托英特尔公司研制的,总共使用了7264块Pentium Pro芯片,目前尚未最后完工,其最终目标是集成9000多块奔腾芯片,将运算速度提高到每秒1.4万亿次。对于该超级计算机的用途,能源部解释说,由于美国政府签署了全面禁止核试验条约,利用实弹进行核试验已无可能,而该部新一代计算机则为美国桑迪亚同家实验室提供了计算机模拟核爆炸的有效手段。能源部表示,普通计算机运行二天才能完成的工作量,利用这部速度惊人的计算机只需短短15秒便大功告成。利用它,科学家们还可进行大气预报、自然灾害预测以及人类DNA分析等计算量虽复杂繁重的研究工作。该机同时也向社会开放,任何工商企业和研究机构均可付费购买上机时间。 美同能源部部长奥里瑞在评价这一重大成果时指出,每秒进行1万亿次运算曾被认为是不可能的事情,而如今却通过普通芯片得以实现,它说明美国正在以新的姿态重建超级计算机的主导地位。 高速并行处理超级计算机的研
The U.S. Department of Energy and Intel Corp. have announced that HyperTerm processing computers up to 1 trillion transactions per second have come out and world records for computing have been rewritten. This exciting scientific achievement marks a new breakthrough in computer parallel processing technology, and the development of super-giant computers has begun to take a new course. It is reported that this cost of 53 million US dollars of the computer is commissioned by the United States Department of Energy in September last year, Intel developed a total of 7264 Pentium Pro chips, has not yet been finalized, the ultimate goal is to integrate more than 9000 pieces of the Pentium chip, Operation speed increased to 1.4 trillion times per second. For the purposes of the supercomputer, the DOE explained that as the U.S. government signed the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, the use of live ammunition for nuclear tests is no longer possible and that the new generation of computers provided to the Sandia Laboratories of the United States Computer simulation of effective means of nuclear explosion. The Department of Energy said that just two days to run an average computer will take you just 15 seconds with this amazingly fast computer. Using it, scientists are able to carry out complex and burdensome research in the areas of atmospheric forecasting, natural disaster prediction, and human DNA analysis. The aircraft is also open to the public at the same time, any business and research institutions can pay to buy the machine time. Commenting on this major achievement, the United States Secretary of Energy Oriery pointed out that performing 1 trillion operations per second was considered impossible and now is being realized through ordinary chips, which shows that the United States is taking a new Gestures to rebuild the dominance of supercomputers.
