Yes, it can.

Although I am sure it is low for a supercomputer of this caliber, this line always cracks me up:

"consumes only 4.04 megawatts"

I don't think I could ever call 4.04 MW "only".

 

[kewlx]

Bleh china who cares..google will just create their own and be like suck it china

Great. Now let's build something 60% faster here in the USA.

 

[adamboy64]

So.. when are we going to see some benchmarks?

 

[IzzyCraft]

"for scientists looking to turbocharge their rate of discovery."

 

[hunter315]

The computer only consumes 4.04 MW of power, but how much does the cooling system need to get that much heat out of the room, and people were worried about cars contributing to global warming.

 

[nebun]

wow...7000 nvidia tesla gpus have as much power as 50,000 cpus, very impressive

 

[christop]

I would guess it has a 10000000 thousand ton air conditioner for cooling.

"Yes, it can."

I loled

What do they use it for?

 

[PLATTERMAN]

It will be used not for finding or sharing information, but for squashing what it deems counter productive to the govt's agenda.

Definitely not to run Metro 2033 at 50000x50000.

Well, since it "only" uses 4.04MW, I would say heating the entire city of Tianjin.

The scientific research that is now possible with a system of this scale is almost without limits; we could not be more pleased with the results.

I think they just wanted to say they have the fastest computer, the scientific research was just a side effect

 

[Tesla1483]

I recall reading an article on here not too long ago about an upcoming supercomputer in Japan that will break 10 petaflops. So yeah, this one in China is gonna beat the next fastest by only 30%? This one will beat theirs by 300%. I think it's just gonna be called "K" or something lame like that.

 

[Zerk]

Yea Yea, Thats cool and all But! Can it Run Crysis? Probably Not.

LOL!

 

[ehanger]

but....


















can it play crysis?

 

[FLanighan]

lol I wonder what kind of porn you could watch on that thing

 

[Darkerson]

[citation][nom]FLanighan[/nom]lol I wonder what kind of porn you could watch on that thing[/citation]

None. Its in China. No porn for you!

 

[compton]

I am so sick of Communists. I think its time to purge the reds!

Aww, you beat me to it. LOL

 

[FloKid]

Any wild guesses which core has a bug in it?

 

[gmarsack]

** Add to Cart ** Wonder what the finance plan is for one of those?

 

[Mousemonkey]

Aww, you beat me to it. LOL

You were all beaten to it by Marcus.
