America, Europe, Japan and Russia have decided to read 10 million euro (about 260 billion) to develop software for the new generation supercomputer scale exa.
The G8 countries agreed funding for projects in software development for next generation supercomputer, expected to appear in 2019, as of 1000 times faster than the most powerful computers today.
Most software are running supercomputers built on existing open source (Open Source). However, member countries of the agreement to accept advice from leading experts that the development model of open source software can not solve all tasks set for the technology range exa (1 exa = 10 or 18 caps is an average unit rate; an exa by Giga 1 billion). Even when the system in the range smaller peta (1 peta = 10 caps or 15 million billion; a peta = 1 million Giga), inadequate also occur. Research Council of the G8 countries join the project team meeting, proposed a financial package worth 10 million euros to implement the project. People are waiting to month 5/2010 to the proposed solutions is expected.
People for supercomputers great attention after the film Avatar. The supercomputer used to create the 3D scene of the epic natural disasters, climate change and other things. "Modeling is always one of the most powerful research tool, the G8 announced explain. In a special report highlighted events to climate change, energy sector, economic and maritime environmental protection as priority areas of capacity using the calculation of the new generation of supercomputers.
Professor Jack Dongarra of the University of Tennessee researchers stand working for the National Laboratory of U.S. Department of Energy at Oak Ridge known tasks built supercomputer new generation is "extremely complex". It took ten years and mankind will manufacture the engine running hundreds of millions of computer processors. "From now need to know what the standard, the program had to shake hands and planning for this.
Exa-scale systems is complete a billion calculations per second will have a capacity many times larger than the current system.Currently no programming language allows satisfying the demands of the system.GS Dongarra anticipates the complexity of interference in the process of software development. also, to solve the problem late enough in the types of connections. Last year, Dongarra with the director Peter Backman Argonne Leadership Computing Project has established International Exascale Software Project (Project software exa-scale international) to plan the study of the exa-scale systems.
Decision reached in the same period to cut funding for the system calculates the direction of climate change and environmental protection. 2009, on a global scale, these pay for this work is 353 million dollars (353 million) in 2008 when a 392 million dollars. Analysts from IDC predicted in 2013, these costs increased to 470 million.
