The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has just built a new supercomputer, one that is said to be the fastest in the country, with a theoretical peak performance of up to 220 TeraFLOPS. Called SAGA-220 (Supercomputer for Aerospace with GPU Architecture-220 TeraFLOPS), the supercomputer is located in Thiruvananthapuram, at the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC), which houses the Satish Dhawan Supercomputing Facility. A GPU-based supercomputer, SAGA-220 stands for Supercomputer for Aerospace with GPU Architecture-220 TeraFLOPS. It is made up of 400 Nvidia Tesla 2070 workstation GPUs, and 400 Intel Xeon quad-core CPUs. The parts were supplied by Wipro, and utilise a high-speed interconnect between the components. The total cost of the system was about 14 crores, and, is apparently environmentally green, with a power consumption of about 150KW. According to the team at ISRO, the system is also very scalable, and can be made to achieve up to several PetaFLOPS. The

IBM reveals next-gen chip that delivers Supercomputer speed.

Researchers have unveiled a tiny new stamp size chip that delivers supercomputer performance using a process that mimics functions of the human brain. The "neurosynaptic" chip could open a wide new range of computing possibilities from artificial intelligence systems, self driven cars and more. The chip has been developed by researchers at IBM, Cornell Tech and iniLabs. It is a new approach in design and a significant step up from the system when it was first announced two years back. Researchers claim that the technology will lead to a future of compact cognitive computing. The Systems of Neuromorphic Adaptive Plastic Scalable Electronics or SyNAPSE chip, is capable of 256 million programmable synapses, 1 million programmable neurons and 46 billion synaptic operations per watt, per second. The new chip dubbed "TrueNorth" works to mimic the "right brain" functions of sensory processing "responding to sights, smells and information from the envi

Top 3 Simplest PC Games of All time

Top 3 Simplest PC Games of All time By simplest I don’t mean about simple gameplay or easy to play games. Rather I mean of such games which don’t need high specifications. Low size, Low memory, Low video card etc. There are many these types of games you can find your around. I don’t consider the flash games here. The games which I consider the top 3 are the genuine PC Games and as oer me , every Gamer should play these games. 1. Ballance Ballance is a 3D puzzle computer game for Windows. It was developed by Cyparade, published by Atari and first released in Europe on 2 April 2004. The player controls a ball via mouse and keyboard that they must move along a course without falling off the screen. In the game, the player can change the ball's material with special changers throughout the game's 12 levels. It can be transformed to a wood, rock, or paper ball. The rock ball is extremely heavy, and can be accidentally rolled off an edge very easily, but this ball ca

Samsung Champ Neo Duos (GT C3262) is full of bug....!!!

Image
I bought a new mobile Samsung GT C3262 a year ago. It is a good mobile but as usual not error free. I have come across many bugs in this mobile. I forgot about some bugs, so I will try to write about much as possible. The first bug is all about Internet connectivity. I am not sure whether other users have experienced it or not. I usually browse the net using Opera Mini 4. I came to know that whenever I want to download bigger files like 10 MB. The opera mini freezes, and download stopped . This type of problem also occurs in UC Browser too. Sometimes I quit the Opera Mini and then in no time I come back to use it, then suddenly a error message will come up. This bug happens only in case of Airtel network. To get rid of this , you just need to off the network and then turn it on. Then the "G" sign on the top of the screen will be gone. After it you can browse the net using your favorite browser Opera Mini. The last thing I want to tell about the screen touch pr

What is better - Internet Download Manager or Downvids.net

Well as the title, I am just going to present the differences between these two methods. What is better to download videos from Video Sharing site– IDM or Downvids.net? The answer will be long probably. I used both the methods so I can tell you clearly about it. First about IDM or formally Internet Download Manager.  If you want to download a video from  YouTube   then you need to open the video first. Then you will see a blue bar of title “Download this video”. You need to click on it then the download will begin. Somehow, this method got some problems. Sometimes when you click on the bar , it will show a list of bars of the same video but of different sizes. As per my experience, some bars when clicked, it will begin to download the ad in the video….which is frustrating. Who want to download those sh*t ad videos! Another problem I found in the IDM is that whenever you download videos, at the last time ; at about 99%.......it stops and various type of errors wil
