In the link, you'll find the specs for NASA's Pleiades Supercomputer, and to be honest, the stats are mind boggling!!

it will require a big home and massive power supply.
You won't get permit for it.

They have more.. more powerful system, those are only for mass media systems specifications.

Now I see where part of my tax money went.
Congratulations to all my fellow Americans. Without us this would not of been possible for NASA.

Tough job thinking up a password on this thing - but at least it'll be secure!!

Amazing specs! Maybe it can run about 30 virtual machines at the same time?In the link, you'll find the specs for NASA's Pleiades Supercomputer, and to be honest, the stats are mind boggling!!

Maybe after 100 years my future generation would have those kind of processing power in their phones.

Yes , they are some breathtaking numbers alright ,and if you scroll down far enough
..... they are still running a FORTRAN compiler !!!
How quaint .
It's a bit like buying a Ferrari , then using it to pull a trailer.
Those math boffins at NASA simply will NOT move to a far more efficient language for their needs ,
such as C
FORTRAN is what they started with and that is their comfort zone , and that is where they are staying
They had to be dragged kicking and screaming into the metric system !
I was a huge fan of Seymour Cray , back in the day , and I was looking at the super-computer business recently ,
and I was surprised to see that Cray Research still make some mighty products , they are still up there !
It's all number crunching of course , on an epic scale , and no real practical use for anything else .....
Yeah , that would be a winner !
But only if you didn't pay for the hardware , and you're not paying the utility bills

perfect for some BTC mining
Yeah , that would be a winner !

I'm no coder or anything like that, but would the reason they've stuck with an older language be because of infrastructure or something?
No expert on that area!
