Best Supercomputer 2022
Built by Hewlett Packaged Enterprise Frontier as the world's first ExaScale supercomputer for Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility (Department of Energy) in Tennessee, USA for scientific research and development. Completed in 2022 with estimated cost of 600 Million dollar. More than 606,000 of CPU cores and 8,335,000 of GPU cores to achieve 1.7 ExaFLOPS peak performance. Consumes 21 MW and occupies 680 square meters of space
Solid State Active Cooling
Frore Systems Airjet Mini and Airjet Pro are active cooling chips that are just 2.8mm thick and quietly suck cool air in from the top of the chip before pushing it out the sides with the aim to replace traditional fan-based solutions in ultrabooks, or be integrated into VR headsets and smartphones for improved cooling. The mini size can dissipate 5 W of heat
FUGAKU
