The USA has a great history in supercomputers. A system that was among the most powerful computers in the past years has now become “unusable”. Once the 20 most powerful man in the world. supercomputer the one which… Cheyennewas put up for auction.
Cheyenne supercomputer put up for auction
It was stated that a project developed by NCAR-Wyoming Supercomputing Center was put up for auction. The Cheyenne system used by the US General Services Administration was one of the 20 most powerful systems in 2016.
Although it has previously been used for weather and disaster modelling, its advanced age and documented errors pose a risk. 5.34 petaflops throughput Currently, an offer of 50 thousand dollars has been made for Cheyenne. However, it is necessary to consider that the auction is ongoing and the price may increase.
Apple took action: A date has been given for the foldable iPhone and MacBook!
Finally the expected news came. Apple is also entering the foldable phone market. Here is the release date of the foldable iPhone and MacBook.
Water-cooled supercomputer More than 8 thousand Intel Xeon E5-2697v4 processors is available. It has 145 thousand 152 cores. It is also powered by a total of 313 thousand 344 GB of memory.
According to an ad by the Wyoming Supercomputing Center, more than 1 percent of the system’s compute nodes have failed in the last 6 months. However, it was stated that these operations could be repaired with the support of the technical team. Additionally, the coolant needs to be drained and the switch wiring needs to be replaced.
It is obvious that extensive maintenance and repairs will be needed to restart operations. The DIMM memory chips are probably corrupted and need to be replaced. NCAR also stated that transportation costs are the responsibility of the buyer.
