Apple iPad 2 - IPAD hand, as fast as a supercomputer



And 'well known that computer, you can hold in your hand today is more powerful computers of years, filling the room. But now, Jack Dongarra, a computer that keeps track of the 500 fastest computers in the world was, how fast your computer in your hand really think. Dr. Dongarra, Faculty of Computer Science, University of Tennessee, a researcher at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, one of the guards Linpack benchmark calculation, linear algebra, a computer test that measures math skills.

His group is testing the new Apple iPad HP 6735b 2 batteries and it seems that the rights and pillow pill companies would be the version with four processors of the Cray supercomputer, which was 7:58 processor, the fastest PC World's 1985 rival, Dr. Dongarra, researchers have discovered that the new iPad2 about 10 times faster than its predecessor, the original IPAD. That's because several technical amendments to the microprocessor used in the new version of Apple tablet probably.

Until now, scientists have only test in one of two processor cores on chip IPAD. After completion of the project, but Dr. Dongarra IPAD is about 2 1.5 to 1.65 GigaFLOPS Linpack benchmark (billion floating point operations per second, or math). This is to ensure that the iPad was one of the two fastest supercomputers in the world he remained until 1994.

Cray 2 computer infrequently, even by the standards of the designer, Seymour Cray. About the size of large washing machine, was immersed in a liquid called Flourinert, developed by 3M, and it was cool, sometimes used to replace human blood during surgery. This machine is housed in an aquarium-like structure is affectionately called, the bells.

try it now that Acer 6935G Acer IPAD as07b41, battery and air-cooled, Dr. Dongarra some ideas, like building a supercomputer a few batteries tablets whole. If the value is probably not so great, he said. But here's an interesting power;. He noted that there were several technical obstacles.

To install iPads cluster do is a bit more 'difficult, he said. And you can be in prison broke then use the wireless communication between IPAD;. But do not abandoned this idea. ; You can do is offer a friendly Power-cluster, he said.

His colleague, Steve Wallach, a computer designer, who was portrayed in the book, the soul of the New Machine, is also thinking about possible names for the new type of supercomputer. He previously worked as a hypothetical parallel supercomputer is already known (for the clock network). Now, Mr. Wallach has a NOP (network buffer). He noted that it is convenient for calculations in a low sense of the word, no job.
