Quantum computer managed to solve a task far more quickly than the world’s best supercomputer

Quantum computers have already managed to surpass ordinary computers in solving certain tasks – unfortunately, totally useless ones. The next milestone is to get them to do useful things. Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have now shown that they can solve a small part of a real logistics problem with their small, but Read more about Quantum computer managed to solve a task far more quickly than the world’s best supercomputer[…]

TSUBAME3.0 – The next-generation supercomputer set to meet the surge in demand for artificial intelligence applications

With 47.2 petaflops performance at half precision set to meet the surge in demand for artificial intelligence applications. The Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech) Global Scientific Information and Computing Center (GSIC) has started development and construction of TSUBAME3.0 [1]—the next-generation supercomputer that is scheduled to start operating in the summer of 2017.
