Approved the list of projects that will load the most powerful supercomputer in the world

News about supercomputers periodically pop up in the press. Every now and then changing list of the fastest computers . If you have been wondering what you can download supercomputers but render the last Pixar cartoon and GTA V in resolving 4K, then there you are - a list of 13 research projects, that were made to work on the latest digital monster, which will be ready by 2018. This Summit supercomputer capacity of 300 petaFLOPS. The project aims to outperform the most powerful existing computers, Chinese Tianhe-2.

The computer will be constructed from 3500 nodes running on IBM Power9 and Nvidia Volta GPU, connected together via NVlink, superfast bus transfers data at speeds up to 200 Gb / s.

The list of projects is as follows:

• Project study of plasma physics XGC from Princeton University. Simulation and Study of electrostatic turbulence and other effects in the toric synthesis system.
  
• Seismological project SPECFEM from Princeton University. Modeling of seismic wave propagation.
  
• Climate Simulator ACME labotorii from Lawrence Livermore. Study of changes in the polar caps and other climate research.
