IBM‘s Research scientists have long spent time working on mathematical proofs. The latest proof that they have is that quantum computing will be faster than classical architectures. In classical computing, a single bit can only encode a 1 or 0 value. Qubits, the equivalent of a bit in quantum computing, can encode more information. How…
Using virtualised systems and dev-ops processes means that most of the time it is easier to build something afresh using templates and tools than to make changes to an existing environment. But sometimes, you do need to make those changes. And if that change requires an alteration to the BIOS configuration, that can be challenging.…
The world of quantum computing is not like traditional computing. It’s much quieter. As you reduce the temperature to few fractions of a degree above absolute zero to observe quantum effects observable, you also cut a lot of the vibration. There is still noise from pumps and compressors, but the cold eliminates the vibration and…
The Top500 list regularly polls the organisations that run supercomputers creating a list of largest, fastest, most efficient and so on. The 50th release of the Top500 list was released yesterday. And there have been some changes. The first is the rise in the number of Chinese supercomputers, putting them ahead of the United States for…
