Tianhe-2 is now the World's Fastest Supercomputer
Tianhe-2 is
now the fastest Supercomputer of the world
China's Tianhe-2 supercomputer, also called
Milkyway-2, was revealed as the fastest super computer of the world by Ars
Technica, the technology magazine on 17
June 2013. Recently measured at speeds of nearly 31 petaflops surpassing the
current record holder US machine called Titan by 74 per cent. And the
interesting thing is that it was not even running at its full capacity!
According to Ars Technica, the fastest result was achieved using 90 per cent of
the machine capacity. The stats come from a five-hour Linpack test using 14,336
nodes and 50 GB of memory of each node.Present record holder Titan is the Cray
XK7 system-based at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the US.
Tianhe-2 achieved the processing speeds of
33.86 petaflops (1000 trillion calculations) per second on a benchmarking test.
Scheduled to be installed at the National Supercomputer Center in Guangzhou
before the end of this year, Tianhe-2 is being assembled and tested at China's
National University for Defense Technology (NUDT). Once operational, Tianhe-2
"will provide an open platform for research and education and provide high
performance computing service for southern China," Dongarra wrote,
according to Ars Technica.
Almost all the parts of Tianhe-2 are
developed in China, apart from the main processors which are designed by Intel,
the US firm. The primary features of Tianhe-2 are also developed in China and
these include the Operating System, interconnect, software as well as the
front-end processors. The cost of this supercomputer is 100 million US dollar.
The peak performance speed of this computer, according to National University
of Defence Technology, is 54.9 quadrillion operations per second. It
encompasses 16000 nodes, each with three Xeon Phi processors and two Intel Xeon
Ivy Bridge processors, which gives it a combined total of 3120000 computing
cores.
However, it is important to note that US is
still leading in overall supercomputer rankings. 252 systems of US make it to
the list of top 500 supercomputers of the world. The overall number of European
machines is 112, while that of Asian machines is 119.
The Top 500 list is produced two times in a
year. The supercomputers in this list are rated on the basis of their speed of
performance in a benchmark test which is conducted by experts from US as well
as Germany. Tianhe-2 is the follow-up to Tianhe-1, which was #1 in the world in
November 2010 and ranked eighth in the most recent list, with a speed of 2.57
petaflops.

RBI kept key rates unchanged in its mid-quarter review of the monetary policy announced on 17 June 2013
RBI kept key rates
unchanged in its mid-quarter review of the monetary policy announced on 17 June
2013
The Reserve Bank of India kept interest
rates unchanged on 17.06.13 (Monday) in the mid-quarter review of the monetary
policy, after
cutting them in each of its previous three policy reviews, warning of upward
risks to inflation posed by a falling rupee and increases in food prices.
As expected, the Reserve Bank left its
policy repo rate unchanged at 7.25 per cent and kept the cash reserve ratio
(CRR), or the share of deposits banks must keep with the central bank, steady
at 4 per cent, despite falling inflation in recent months.
“The monetary policy stance has been
informed by the evolving growth-inflation dynamics, the balance of risks as
well as recent developments in the external sector,” RBI Governor D Subbarao
said in the mid-quarter policy review.
Rupee has declined by 5.8 per cent since January
1 and touched a record low of 58.96 to a dollar last week. In its guidance, the
RBI, particularly, flagged risks on inflation, saying “it is only a durable
receding of inflation that will open up the space for monetary policy to
continue to address risks to growth.”
The Highlights of the monetary
policy announced by RBI are:
* Key short term lending rate (repo rate)
kept unchanged at 7.25 per cent;
* Cash reserve ratio unchanged at 4 pc;
* Rupee fall, external sector risks and
elevated food inflation areas of concern;
* Continuing weakness in manufacturing
needs to be urgently reversed;
* RBI asks government to create conducive environment
for private investment, improve project clearances to promote growth;
* Steps to curb gold imports, easing
commodity prices to lower CAD in 2013-14;
* Balance of Payments, inflation and growth
rate to determine future monetary stance;
* Need to be vigilant about global
uncertainty and its impact on capital flows;
* RBI ready to use all available
instruments to deal with any adverse development in external sector and
positive rating action should have favourable impact on investor confidence.

Father’s Day 2013 - June 16 (Sunday)
June 16(Sunday)- Father’s Day
June
16, 2013(Sunday) is celebrated as Father’s Day. A day exclusively dedicated for
our loving dads.
Father's Day is a celebration honoring
fathers and celebrating fatherhood, paternal bonds, and the influence of
fathers in society. Many countries celebrate it on the third Sunday of June
including India, but it is also celebrated widely on other days. Father's Day
was created to complement Mother's Day, a celebration that honors mothers and
motherhood.
“A dad is someone who
wants to catch you before you fall
but instead picks you up,
brushes you off,
and lets you try again.”
“A dad is someone who
wants to keep you from making mistakes
but instead lets you find your own way,
even though his heart breaks in silence
when you get hurt. “
“A dad is someone who
holds you when you cry,
scolds you when you break the rules,
shines with pride when you succeed,
and has faith in you even when you fail...”Saturday, June 15, 2013
