First-Gen Supercomputer Resurrected
In a move reminiscent of a Hall of Fame induction, the Living Computer Museum in Seattle recently made room in its collection for the CDC 6500 system, a first-generation supercomputer built by Control Data Corporation in 1967. The massive machine, which the museum will attempt to restore to its former …

Supercomputing Event Explores Exascale
It’s no secret that a number of governments, companies and research centers are engaged in a heated race to develop an exascale computer—a new class of supercomputer capable of a quintillion operations per second, which is 1,000 times faster than today’s fastest supercomputers. To help illustrate the vision of exascale …

NSA Supercomputer Center Funds Slashed
The National Security Agency (NSA) reportedly has had its budget slashed by $35 million intended to go toward construction of a supercomputer center in the Baltimore area. The Obama administration had requested $431 million for the third phase of development of the site, but in mid-December, Congress capped expenses to …

Supercomputers Join Hunt for Platinum’s ‘Cheapium’ Counterpart
Platinum plays an essential role in a number of technologies and a wide variety of industrial and potentially life-saving applications, including transforming toxic fumes leaving a car’s engine into more benign gasses and fighting the spread of cancerous tumors. But this wonder metal doesn’t come cheap—as anyone has ever gone …

Exploring Exclusive Functions of Intel MKL
The Intel Math Kernel Library is a large library that includes implementations of several standard libraries as well as original functionality. The library supports multicore and vectorized programming, and even cluster programming. Jeff Cogswell walks you through the original functionality available in the MKL. Last time, we started talking about …
