    CHINA'S ANSWER TO THE HUBBLE TELESCOPE

    I didn't know there was an answer needed for Yuri Gagarin's space travel. But guess what, some other country **coughs** US **coughs** thought there was an answer needed and went to moon and turned all space exploration to a dick measurement contest. Since then space exploration is regarded as an...

    Hillary Clinton 'does not want her grandchildren to live in a world dominated by the Chinese

    If he understands anything about macroeconomics, I don't have a single neuron in my body. I want him to be the president though. Trump and Sanders are the only two presidential candidates who didn't commit any war crime yet or not in the same group with them. According to Center for...

    We had discussion before and I blacklisted him because he was very out of touch, very paranoid and somewhat aggressive. Hope this helps.

    China to announce biggest military budget increase in nearly a decade as Asian arms race heats up

    On contrary economy is a frontier in this confrontation just like military power projection. CPC has seen worse for decades. Wars, poverty, drought that claimed millions of lives. Yet still CPC is there. No one did even dare to take them down. And now do we really expect CPC will lose legitimacy...

    Is Tianhe-2 Overrated?

    Hey Malik. I didn't understand what you've meant by "making" or "buying" it? Today a huge portion supercomputers uses US chips and US originated softwares at some point. It's not feasible to make your "own" supercomputer for any country today. I mean think about it, you create your own OS, your...

    Is Tianhe-2 Overrated?

    Yeah, I'm registered for some time now. When I was in university I was interested in artificial intelligence. My graduation project was about the topic. That's when I discovered pubmed. Since then I take a look at it when I use a drug etc. That's a very good source. What you've posted is quite...

    Is Tianhe-2 Overrated?

    Yeap we can discuss it. I agree with you. We definitely need a thread for Pschological issues. Also for neuroscience as you have said, it's like christmas. Everyday there is a new and very exciting development. We can definitely find a lot of content.

    Nasa’s new laser propulsion could get humans to Mars in 3 days

    Yeap, you're correct. I should've read the entire article before posting it. In 1997 US did the first prototype. Source : http://edition.cnn.com/TECH/9712/12/t_t/laser.propulsion/ The person who was the director of the team : Leik Myrabo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Is Tianhe-2 Overrated?

    Yeah, artificial neural networks works mimics the Hippocampus. The algorithm is based on a very simple rule, Hebbian learning as you know. One can approximate any second degree function with a multilayer feedforward neural networks. It has a huge learning potential. However Prefrontal cortex is...

    Is Tianhe-2 Overrated?

    That explains all the trouble for making a 6D Torus Interconnect topology between CPU's. That's really an exciting news. I'm not sure how one can simulate the synaptic plasticity tough. Clearly the connection between some processing units needs to be diminished while enhanced between others...

    Nasa’s new laser propulsion could get humans to Mars in 3 days

    The technology doesn't belong to NASA. It belongs to a Japanese team. However since US is paper-tiger and a PR success you say it's a NASA technology. It was theorized by a US engineer but was first realized by Japanese engineers in 2002. Laser propels plane : Nature News Takashi Yabe of the...

    Is Tianhe-2 Overrated?

    Yes, exactly. You don't have a shared memory in distributed computing which creates a lot of problems to begin with. You need to virtualize and manage the distribued memory as if it's a single gigantic memory (Source : Single system image - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia You use frameworks...

    Is Tianhe-2 Overrated?

    Yeah exactly. Three different systems would be much less energy efficient. Besides while the idle capacity is sleeping, it consumes much less energy then it is utilized. At Each clock frequency CPU only asks "do I have any work to do" which consumes a pretty low energy. ALU (the most energy...

    Is Tianhe-2 Overrated?

    Your SD Model doesn't Apply because all of those processes run simultaneously. Dude I'm a computer scientist and I've used 40 cpu system for my MSc thesis. You talk nonsense.

    Is Tianhe-2 Overrated?

    I don't know why it is so hard to understand this but multiple users can login simultaneously to supercomputers. You can book the entire supercomputer capacity for a timeframe but this is very very unusual. Usually you book for a certain processing capacity which is measured as the number of...

    Well Turkey is a secular country by definition. But if you mean a "muslim majority" country, then ITU (Istanbul Technical University) has a supercomputer for academic purposes which is on the list. Istanbul Technical University (ITU) | TOP500 Supercomputer Sites

    Is Tianhe-2 Overrated?

    With that logic Japan dominates the supercomputing industry. Lists But there a lot of metrics out there to measure the performence of a supercomputer. Energy efficiency is of course one of them. However there is data intensive modeling performence for big data analytics and there is matrix...

    Turkey Inflation Rate Highest Since May 2014

    Instead of forming a strong economic foundation, our government is seeing wet Ottoman dreams. Russia also took a hard slam because of western sanctions. But at least you guys took Crimea in return. What did we get? A huge nothing.
