Hi,

Recently India has developed a new supercomputer that ranks in top five of the world...

It has been manufactured by the company TATA...

It rank is four.. and speed of around 117.9 tera flops...

It is the fastest in ASIA...

Wonderful thing na..

Please see the details over here...

hi Simran,
Saw a TV program yesterday showing a restored/running 'Colossus' electronic computer, one of the 10 electronic computers,
that we were using in England during the 1940's.

It has about 1800 valves [vacuum tubes], it was used to crack coded radio messages.

I think your computer probably runs a little faster...

blueroomelectronics · 16th November 2007, 03:27 PM

According to the article it's made with 1,800 Intel chips. 8051?

mneary · 16th November 2007, 10:54 PM

Probably half of them 8051, the other half 8255.

And it runs windows, so it only really runs about a MIP or two; opps bluescreen...

Thanks...

It is actually a big achievement for us... we hope of doing a bit better in future...

I also feel it doesn't works on 8051... because 8051 is a bit old technology...

We're just havin fun, sounds like a handy computer. I'm sure it chews through the electricity.

simrantogether · 17th November 2007, 08:06 AM

Actually the computer though may absorb more electricity because it is having number of processors and also servers to be fed with...

Hey,

I have a question...

it has been mentioned that super computers can be used for ' Drug Discovery' also..

How it happens...

Simran..

There's software that can be run on super fast computers that simulate molecular interaction of chemicals. They just try large numbers of variations until they find one that works, verify it and then try to build it using real chemicals.

simrantogether · 19th November 2007, 06:00 AM

it is a wonderful technique... and probably it may work on Anti Biotics.. i am not sure... but may be...

That'd be significantly more complicated simran. One of the things this magic method doesn't to is tell you what the side effects are going to be or how it interacts with the rest of the body. The drug companies use animals for that, and then they do clincal trials on people. Even then there are drugs out there (possible created using those kinds of methods or not) that are found later on to have fatal consiquences or side effects so severe as to render the drug useless. It's like a crap shoot, the failure rate of tested drugs is absolutly astronomical, but the profits from a succesful one (which once perfects costs virtually nothing to make) are so high that it's a popular method. Mind you these drugs only help symptoms and seldom if ever actually effect the underlaying condition.

Hi,

1. Can it happen that we use our normal computer... and wait for a long period of time so that it can do calculations ...

Long period time means like 2 months...

Will it work...

Also,

2. Can we make a supercomputer at home by joining five or six computers...

Regards,

Simran..

Sceadwian · 19th November 2007, 09:52 AM

1 computer is just a computer, 10 might get you somewhere over a length of time, 100 will get you results over a shorter period of time, 1000 over a short period of time, 10k 100k ect. Supercomputer is an abstract term. Seti@home is the earliest that I know of actual application of that kind of system. It was so popular after a few years it actually caught up and surprasses the data is was processing by a couple orders of magnitude. http://folding.stanford.edu/
is the latest breed of this kind of programming I know of.

Hi Simran,
Yes, its possible to interlink a number of MCU's to give a 'pseudo super computer'.

I have even seen it done with Z80's, [I'm sure that Nigel has also tried the idea].

Why dont you interlink say 3 PIC's and give it a try?

Yes , it is a good idea...

Probably ... i feel time sharing has to be done then for controlling of those three pics or Some other protocol..

Simran..
