Australia to get world's most powerful supercomputer (2 Viewers)

[Tangent]

I THOUGHT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT A BIG COMPUTER!@?!??!?!
was i wrong?

just alittle

Hmm. This has been in the planing stages for many years. The Gorgon gas deal is barely months old. It's mainly coincidence - WA has the best radio quiet in the world, so most, but not all, of the dish will be built there.

Now show me to the door xD

who cares if australia is gettin a new IBM superdooper processing lol

Obviously you don't.

But many others do.

with this powerful new computer we can finally realise
the quantum effects of laser induced spectroscopy on helium clusters!
the precise effects of floppy molecules in glassy liquids!
mathematical models of zombie attacks
AND MOAR

ok

Ofcourse, but nothing can max out crysis...that's for sure.

The universe is actually just a quantum computer so god could play Crysis at max settings with a 100+ frame rate.

yr chin could play crisis lol

We could, but all the processing power will be spent on analysing the SKA's data. Even then most data will need to be dumped once analysed in real-time in memory, since no storage technology currently exists that wouldn't fill up to max capacity in the first day of use.

An exaflops supercomputer is a minimum requirement for an SKA. There will be no cores left for studying the opposite of glass annealing.
