Supercomputing For Everyone!
Abstract
Describes what a supercomputer is and how it operates. A super computer is a computer that operates at or near the peak performance achievable within the constraints of existing technology and available power and cooling. Cost: A leadership scale supercomputer costs ~$1E8! Size: Can require 6,000+ square feet of space! Power: Can require $6-7 million/year to operate Speed: INL's supercomputers can compute in one second what would take a human with a calculator 50 trillion years! Rate of innovation: Today's smart phones are faster than supercomputers in the 1970's!
