ENGADGET: Cray unleashes 100 petaflop XC30 supercomputer with up to a million Intel Xeon cores
He mentions use cases like batch processing, scientific computing, video and image processing and rendering, testing and Web crawling.
In such systems, data are stored in 64-bit units, making work with big data sets--common in video and scientific computing--faster and easier.
They also demanded better coverage of two of the fastest-moving scientific fields: computing and biomedicine.
China already published twice as many scientific papers on computing as Japan and Germany in 2005, but over five years it produced an absolutely meteoric increase in output.

"Basing Titan on Tesla GPUs allows Oak Ridge to run phenomenally complex applications at scale, and validates the use of 'accelerated computing' to address our most pressing scientific problems, " said Steve Scott, chief technology officer of the GPU accelerated computing business at Nvidia.
Several industry segments make use of high-end computing including life sciences, energy, scientific research, defense, manufacturing and finance.
In creating the IEEE 802.3 Ethernet Bandwidth Assessment report, input was collected from a variety of application spaces (servers, data center networks, high-performance computing, financial markets, carrier and cable operators, Internet exchanges, the scientific community, etc.) and from different geographic regions.
The company is working with the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois, the National Science Foundation and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) on a scientific version of the computer called PERCS (Productive, Easy-to-use, Reliable Computing System).
Titan will provide unprecedented computing power for research in energy, climate change, materials and other disciplines to enable scientific leadership.
