About 60 research teams worldwide are working on the system, with half running typical supercomputing tasks and the other half exploring how I-Cluster works.

Moffett says a computer cluster is generically defined as a set of computers connected with a high-speed network that allows them to work in a coordinated fashion. A Linux cluster runs on free or ...

A computer cluster at Berkeley Lab, which switched off earlier this month, since 1996 had served as a steady workhorse in supporting groundbreaking physics research conducted by large collaborations.

The QB system works at room temperature in a rack-mounted compact form without requiring cryogenic temperatures or complex ...

When black holes crash into each other at the center of a galaxy, the safest place to be is on the other side of the computer simulating the drama. Scientists who study black holes simulate ...

The future of geo-science technology is expanding as Virginia Tech researchers have been working over the last several months with a computer cluster that simulates the Earth's surface.

Cluster states are thus one-way quantum computers and the measurements form the program. The Irish and Austrian group’s quantum computer makes use of four entangled photons in a cluster state. Tame ...

Meet the FACETS FACETS has to clear three major hurdles in order to reach its goal of making computers think like humans: understand the brain, simulate the brain, and make an artificial brain. To ...

Cluster at Queen Mary, University of London will link into 100,000 processor computer grid to bolster scientific and medical research ...

The cluster will focus on biosciences, health care, computer vision, and natural language processing. Some of the first applications will test its ability to read MRIs and work on creating new ...

As IBM emphasizes, its quantum computer is a universal quantum computer—which D-Wave's is not. Another big difference: IBM can address and measure the state of each qubit individually.
