The US government will fund the giants of technology to build the world's largest supercomputer.
The US government has invested a total of $258 million in a major step in the hope of building the world's most powerful supercomputers, competing with China and Japan, which in turn have the most powerful supercomputers and are seeking to build stronger computers in the coming years.
According to a report on the Exascale Computing Project, the US Department of Energy has awarded AMD, Cray, HP, IBM, Intel and Nvidia $ 258 million in funding over a three-year period to build the required computing capacity.
The six companies will not depend solely on US government funds, which will cover 40 percent of the total costs, which could amount to at least $ 430 million.
The supercomputer will be able to do 1 billion calculations per second and is expected to have the same processing power as the human brain at the nervous level.
It is expected that the computer will change the way research is carried out, as well as the possibility of helping him discover the elusive remedies for incurable diseases, as well as his potential to help uncover the mysteries of the universe.
The project aims to create at least one such system by 2021, although the companies concerned may have to work faster to beat China, which promises to build another huge computing machine by 2020.

Any suggestions, ideas or feedback welcome! @hamzaoui
I've often wondered what the difference between the architecture in such a big computer is and why we seem to only be making small incremental increases in the supercomputers. Perhaps it's time to crowd find a supercomputer to blow them all away. I suggested be powered by steem. Why not?
We already have a volunteer supercomputer in Gridcoin/BOINC
I think that this can be a good idea @indianajimz
You know people always like to hold up "I Robot" (the book) as an example of machines gone horribly wrong, but actually it's a story about making a computer so smart it tricks us into not destroying eachother.
Free will be damned lets just focus on staying alive first haha
Yes people arround the world are dead everydays, and the leaders juste waste money and time
If we could actually create robots as kind as in I, Robot, ones that are so well programmed they wont even let us hurt ourselves....there are worse "apocalypses" to be had is all I'm saying haha.
I can't believe 258 million for a computer !!
Yes that's right haha
The US taxpayers have invested $258 million into a supercomputer, the US government doesn't create wealth, they only spend ours.
No, not the US taxpayers, they use the UAE money
Learned something new today.
Good article.
Thanks for sharing.
upvoted and resteemed
Thank you so much @acwood U Are Welcome, All my article are unique
$258 Million should be spent to raise the living standard of an average american, not on super computer.
Or they can spend to stop war in syria and get food for them
Exactly bro
God bless you @ghulammujtaba
