  • Taiwan pulverized: CHIPX by Turing Quantum (Re: The 9 most powerfulsupercomputers)

    Hi,

    Seems the taiwan silicon shield just got pulverized,
    the definition was as follows:

    "The term “silicon shield” emanates from Taiwan’s
    ability to resist the Chinese threat owing to its
    unique technological know-how and integration into
    global supply chains. According to the silicon shield
    theory, the protective function of the Taiwanese
    semiconductor industry is two-fold: (1) China may
    not want to invade Taiwan since a conflict would
    disrupt its semiconductor imports on which it is
    largely dependent; (2) semiconductors are a matter
    of U.S. national security, making an American
    intervention in case of cross-strait conflict more
    likely since the U.S. is also dependent on Taiwanese chips."

    What is the USA response, Intels Loihi ?

    Hi,

    The Alps Supercomputer that was used to train the
    the Swiss https://www.swiss-ai.org/apertus ranks 7-th,
    some sources say 6-th world wide:

    The 9 most powerful supercomputers https://www.livescience.com/technology/computing/top-most-powerful-supercomputers


    The computer is cooled and in the summer the buildings as
    well, with sea water from Lake Lugano. From 45 m sea depth,
    460 liters of cold sea water per second over 2.8 km long

    are drawn to the data center. Water comes back at around
    25°, they might make the Locarno Filmfestival warm and cosy.

    P.S.: The energy consumption is said to be 50 MW, similar figures
    are found in the UK AIRR initiative Bristol. Currently their
    Isambard-AI is fastest in UK, but ranks top 15 worldwide.
