China’s LineShine debuts at number one in Top500 – a list sometimes viewed as a national measure of global tech prowess
A supercomputer in China now outranks its US counterparts as the world’s most powerful. It is the first time since 2017 that a Chinese computer has topped a list sometimes viewed as a measure of a nation’s technological prowess.
The LineShine computer in Shenzhen displaced top-ranked US computer El Capitan in the Top500 rankings released on Tuesday. It was LineShine’s debut on the list.
China’s LineShine differs from other high-performance computers in that it runs entirely on conventional computer chips (CPUs), instead of the graphics processors (GPUs), commonly used for AI. It requires about 42.2 megawatts of electricity to operate, according to the list.
Wholly agree, not to mention the long time horizons China operates with. Compared to short term shareholder profits we haven’t stood a chance since Reagan
That’s all billionaires. They deal in short term because their lives are short term. They are parasites. They don’t care about the future of America because their narcissism makes them think they could do this anywhere. They want everything now and don’t care about the long term because they will insulate theirselves from the consequences. That’s why all of them have compounds and private security forces.
