Supercomputing - a simple introduction and a few applications

A supercomputer is a computer that is considered, or was considered at the time of its introduction, to be at the frontline in terms of processing capacity, particularly speed of calculation. The term "Super Computing" was first used by New York World newspaper in 1929^[1] to refer to large custom-built tabulators IBM made for Columbia University.
(source wikipedia)

ENIAC was not the first computer - the Anastoff Berry Computer was the first - ENIAC was patented first at that time.The first computer in India was TIFRAC - was comissioned in TIFR in 1962.There are many applications of supercomputers today in different areas and some applications are:

1. Wind tunnel modeling to test planes
2. Climate modeling for a short time period and for longer time periods.Short time periods are in "days" (a maximum of a 5 days even today) and longer time periods range from weeks to a month.Even this is sometimes erratic.

Other Common uses

Supercomputers are used for highly calculation-intensive tasks such as problems involving quantum mechanical physics, weather forecasting, climate research (including research into global warming), molecular modeling (computing the structures and properties of chemical compounds, biological macromolecules, polymers, and crystals), physical simulations (such as simulation of airplanes in wind tunnels, simulation of the detonation of nuclear weapons, and research into nuclear fusion), cryptanalysis, and the like. Major universities, military agencies and scientific research laboratories are heavy users.
A particular class of problems, known as Grand Challenge problems, are problems whose full solution requires semi-infinite computing resources.
Relevant here is the distinction between capability computing and capacity computing, as defined by Graham et al.

Capability computing is typically thought of as using the maximum computing power to solve a large problem in the shortest amount of time. Often a capability system is able to solve a problem of a size or complexity that no other computer can.

Capacity computing in contrast is typically thought of as using efficient cost-effective computing power to solve somewhat large problems or many small problems or to prepare for a run on a capability system.
The performance of a supercomputer depends on the speed of a computer plus the speed of other parts.For transaction processing the performance is talked about in MOPS (Millions of operations per second) and there are floating point operations - today TFLOPS.Measuring the performance of a supercomputer is done by:

1. Using benchmarks for scientific calculations ie. SPEC, Whetstone,Dhrystone benchmarks
2. For transaction processing TPC Benchmarks are used.

Why people should blog Now more than ever

1. Share information about important tech,social and scientific discoveries - these really benefit many people and gives people hope.
2. Lets other people connect with important people you and this is the foundation to advance knowledge.
3. Makes business easier and more happening.
4. Enables you to create new products and/or services - even more importantly find out what works and what does not through a series of low cost innovative experiments.
5. Helps people learn new stuff,meet new people and discover what one might have been missing all along!
6. Sometimes it helps to let people know "I" exist rather than being overlooked.

Vertigo & Write to spread a message

Vertigo - understand what it is - get treatment & spread info globally for all to benefit - always remember everyone else was patient  & all (patients,friends,strangers & families) deserve better - it is a condition that gives a false sense of motion,dizziness,lightheadedness & imbalance. There is some treatment available check out http://www.neuroequilibrium.in/

Measure the impact of what is being spread - is anything worth reading & understanding today given the multiple sources of info that exist today - yes such stuff does exist - find it,present it & spread the impact as someone is going to benefit at some point of time - that itself is worth the effort made to write down something of value - every thing impacts globally - some stuff truly spreads very fast- the best example is email - impact :

1.  many trees saved from being chopped globally to write letters
2. a message reaching the recipient possibly the fastest
3. least consumption of energy
4. farthest possible reach - even in space

Write with impact http://www.writewithimpact.com/ - period.

Some trade fundamentals

This is an attempt to see who will & see how people will benefit individually and as a mass locally, regionally & globally - to do this people must become friendly & trust one another completely. The points are :

1. Trade & share opportunities - by all means see the completion of the deals. Take no interest at all as interest makes one selfish to the core over a period of time. A clear benefit is that more money will be spread & risk will be minimal. More employment & trade are the greater benefit to the people.
2. Back the exchange instrument (cash and/or check by a fair amount of gold or silver) . There must be a real value attached to the individual word. Make sure there is a proper written agreement.
3. Hoarding wealth is foolish as nobody when it will be required in an emergency situation today, many times the situation becomes such that money is no longer important. Dictating prices of products & services without a control is very dangerous - people come up with alternatives & the entire inventory gets written off - an example is a drug for a particular condition which used to be sold for US $ 12-15,a co. took over the manufacturer & made the price US $ unaffordable & then a group comes up out of nowhere & shows the drug can be made for as little as US $ 2.
4. Debts must be paid and/or willed to be paid - there is no way out of a debt.

The answer is a blatant NO

Stuff that all people must do to become interesting globally.

1. Make good friends - the type who encourage,motivate & challenge
2. Learn all the time - keeping track of trends & innovations
3. Motivate even enemies (and/or former disinterested friends) to do stellar work to improve in their own interest.
4. Spread the gift of knowledge  globally - most importantly even locally
5. Prove that a lot more is possible with sincerity & put in the required effort

2 of my biggest secrets are out - oops I did it again!

Always a lot to learn

The only thing I do not know is my own ignorance,
Decisions are made on the spur of the moment,
So is the agreement,

Many people really help,
Trade fairs open up a world of possibility,
The one lesson we all learn is humility,
Learn and read about amazing tech stuff,
Sometimes it just happens that reading is just not enough,

Money must be made,
Respect is to be earned,
Innovations also distract,
Windows of opportunity most of the times contract,
All of us will have to accept - this FACT,
Deal with failure with tact,
Show up with enthusiasm,
Take the leap of faith to cross the chasm,

What really matters is the ability to motivate,
Most people & companies will then salivate,
Results also then will not wait,
Supporters too cheer till we reach the front gate,

Success becomes overwhelming,
The moment is really humbling,
One forgets the trembling & bumbling,
The team is already doing everything

After real success always comes the remembrance!

Simple steps to beat stress

Stress is a matter of great concern today globally - bluntly put stress affects performance at every step in business & life. "Karoshi" the Japanese term to denote stress, has become a common and is very expensive in any workplace. Stress interferes with health,reduces productivty,the available physical strength & the individual emotional health.

Stress is due to varied reasons some of which are:

1. Job insecurity - unreasonable demands in performance 
2. Lack of communication - Yes it happens between colleagues,team leaders & senior management.
3. Long working hours
4. Less family &/or personal time
5. Lack of opportunity to grow 
6. Underpaid jobs
7. A lack of timely promotion or recognition based promotion
8. many more reasons 

Health effects of stress include but are not limited to

1. High blood pressure
2. Irregular heart beat - disturbed breathing
3. Decreased intestinal movement,varied auto immune response
4. Increased cholesterol & fatty acids in blood
5. Faster blood clotting
6. Variation of sugar levels in blood
7. Increased stomach acids

Some general steps to reduce stress

1. Deep breathing in a calm place full of fresh air - away from pollution
2. Do high priority work first
3. Balance family,friends & work into a schedule that works for you.
4. Leave a little earlier & finish work on time
5. Take small breaks & exercise - physical activity is a very well known stress buster
6. Use humor at work
7. Keep a can do & positive attitude in work & life
8. Get adequate sleep & rest
9. Take vacations &
10. Make good friends & strengthen existing friendship

Give Peace a Chance in Conflict

War & all conflicts are aimed at benefiting the masses,
A few people who think it will benefit them only are the biggest asses!
A bomb here & a bomb there,
Converts most things to chaos everywhere.

Fighting on a global stage over everything results in a zero-sum game,
At least hopefully a few people never forget there exists feelings of guilt,humiliation followed by shame-that also a few deflect by trying to shift the blame!

There will be accountability as time is wasted,
Opportunities will get created if the intent is sincere,
Let nothing happen out favor & fear,
Being just & a little flexible is the fastest way to fight hatred.

Enough written & enough said,
Hope what is written here will be understood & said,
Best is that the outcome be implemented.

Time to talk is gone,
There is little hope for kids most of whom are forlorn,
Imagine kids searching for parents,food,water & friends
Is this the future a few want to send!

AI,tech & all the weapons will never make a nation safe,
The experienced wise people know the truth in their hearts people feel unsafe!

Life is precious to all,
Let us get up from our stumbles not to Fall!
Hope is what all need to give,
For if there is hope there is a will to live!

Let us remove this talk of (war) doom!
Only then will flowers bloom!

Everyone makes a difference

This is our world & we are its locals,
We make a choice everyday yet we forget our vocals,
How bad are most of our choices,
Most of us do not reflect to even see,
Just how many times we just let things "just be"

Now is a time to move ahead,
All must make a lot of bread,
Many will other wise starve
The future will be one to dread!

Everyday many make a difference - so there is still hope,
Once we join hands & find common ground - all of us will cope!
The way forward is risky - there is a very long slope,
The way forward is to hold hands be together & hold a strong rope!

Let us stop the conflict & clear up all the misunderstandings,
Make the way for smooth landings,
We make choices everyday,
Our choices will show the way,
Let our end be a pleasant Homecoming!

A few among us live in space,
How will the masses even go to that place,
Let us become better people,
Only then can we save our face!

Who,what motivates individuals is always a question mark. The basic fact that motivates people is TRUST & the ability to trust. Technology gives people wings & only reinforces the trust people will have in each other-the facts is motivation is to do something for me,myself & fame and/or to do for benefiting the whole world without my left hand knowing what the right hand is doing to benefit people. Technology & availability of the tech & using the tech all boils down to what is available - a teeen with a simple blog and/or webpage & a social media presence is as powerful as a big firm today as many people will end up using the ideas - the reach of the teen will be magnified & so will the impact of what is getting done. Feedback keeps coming all the time (negative,critical,indifferent,constructive,motivating) - what is important is getting started by sharing ideas that create value & enable people to ask the right questions - as once the questions get asked it becomes shared,spread & forces the individual,place & community to improve - other places then learn from that example.

The one thing missing from lives of many people is hope of making the difference to one's own life & other people's lives - one person benefited is equivalent to all people being benefited - all this talk about net neutrality is nonsense - the questions that must be asked are:

1. How fast are we those who oppose are making a difference - faster than those who support or not?
2. What is something so very wrong with walled access - something is better than nothing always - the fact is the internet may not be able to feed people - what it does is truly enable people to communicate with each other & that one (1) to many communication enables people to get jobs,get business,help out the masses who are lesser privileged & spread public benefiting messages as in case of say emergencies - further even limit access forces people to truly commit to doing more - everything else is just talk in my opinion!
3. Technology does provide options - the option of not using tech is always there!
4. Efficiency improvements reach faster to people - this impacts lives of ordinary people globally,locally & leads to action on the ground - earlier just how many people heard about say Alliance for energy efficiency, Alliance for Water efficiency, so many useful nonprofits really cleaning up existing places & making the places more livable - a direct result is - Reinforce competency in people & groups instead of direct confrontational competition - and one even learns from competition (even if all the others opposing gang up together).
5. There is always a choice to see the positive,cut down costs & increase opportunities - push the bar higher - that said be flexible & accept mistakes made - most importantly rectify the mistakes!

Wishing all a great 2016 going ahead & a great holiday season. Every once in a while all people reflect on what is happening is right or wrong - many times people must correct the course being taken to become better people one will always be able to https://www.enjoy.com/ and laze around - that said I read about a new concept being tried out in New Zealand called TimeBank - http://www.lyttelton.net.nz/ the only currency is time.Now think of time being spent productively to make the difference locally,globally & for that matter even in space (yes people are there in space stations).

The fact is one must be able to provide for family,friends & contribute back to the society - the recent floods in Chennai,Cuddalore & a other extreme events remind all of us that we are not alone.More investment is a must in basic necessities like food,water,sanitation,energy,efficiency of use & yet the most basic stuff is forgotten - most are abusive to elders,many are unemployed (underemployed what ever) and there is absolutely no hope as investment is just not happening for a variety of reasons.

Yet there is hope as a New deal in Paris has taken shape & the n we hear Nairobi talks are a disaster for developing countries & sustainable development goals - even armed conflict among countries & local populations is just not reducing for a variety of reasons - all this is just not helping the world economy. Then comes the big announcement about Open AI and then the super achievement by SpaceX now. There are many open projects & the bar is advancing with every moment https://www.openproject.org

There is always talk about robots, drones a great project is https://www.dronesforgood.ae/ - I have just returned a few days ago from UAE after attending https://www.thebig5.ae - I am looking for projects and/or work was able to connect with truly amazing firms like SABIC, Borouge Henkel and other construction majors in Middle east. 

That is all for now - hope this blog gets noticed & the info used!

People really want to do good positive work that benefits everybody - it is a legitimate desire to earn & do even more good - today there are plenty of good opportunities to invest - that said people just do not want to take any risk at all - to such people the only advise to give them is "taking no risk is the worst as one never really gets out of the muck - the situation always remains the same & more often than not deteriororates even further - becomes worse & everytime time the most valuable commodity is lost,resources - physical goods, good thoughts & ideas are lost, opportunities to provide services,software & streamline deliveries of critical results - everything in a nutshell is lost. What is worse is even lives and useful results get wasted - what is the use of acting after an event - the only way forward is to then act so that the mistakes are not repeated ever again. Today lots of water,energy,time & resources can be saved &/or used better for spectacular results.

There are opportunities in many countries http://opportunity.org

Solar water pumps exist today,hybrid solutions for energy (solar+wind+small hydro) for agriculture, vertical farming is also doing the rounds,many innovative people are growing vegetables in rooftop gardens in cities, ICAR,FAO,IRRI, are 3 wonderful organizations doing amazing work in agriculture - that said some of the work must done with help of private companies.

A link for Commercialization of agricultural tech from India.

Many opportunities exist today. All of us must go get these opportunities and take risks - doing nothing just wastes time!

Water - Businesses,people,waste & energy a few thoughts

I want to first submit that I keep reading many things on the internet,magazines (both trade & general magazines) & many people share info with me some of which I use & most of it is shared in some way or the other on Social Media and or the internet or this blog - the idea is to help one & all take local action at the least cost for a beneficial impact.

A few links are shared which lead to other firms or bodies that enable you to learn further & act when necessary.

I want to share some more ideas about "Water" - "Businesses", utilities, nonprofits,governments & people in general. The idea is to really make all of us CARE a lot more about water - its source,preventing contamination of the source, purification of dirty water & its recycling,reuse and recovery of nutrients from that water - lastly I am trying to out line why it is more important than ever NOW.

It is critical to take the "LEAD" NOW!. Anyone will be able to lead when one:

L-Learns
E-Empowers
A-Acts
D-Distributes

Sales and getting ahead of the competition comes by Sharing of ideas with a few influential people in firms, governments and nonprofits.

Coming to water now - many businesses,utilities,nonprofitd & people care a lot more about water - a few reasons are shared here.

Everybodys, every things & every living creatures existence depends on water directly or indirectly. Even more importantly Businesses,governments stability & their ability to manage land,biodiversity,water,utilities and their survival depends on water - a general rule is one feels very dirty if water is not provided at affordable costs.

There was & to an extent is little concern about water & the masses that said it is changing for the better among most people - the imminent threat is there is water level rise in many countries,a threat of flood is there and as of now today almost 700 Million + people in over 20 countries threatened by water & even more importantly influential people not doing much for them exist - many stinking rich people & companies are becoming richer by evading taxes & stashing the gains in tax havens.

For water the 2 biggest reasons & yet other important reasons why it is not available are:

1. Evaporation
2. Leakages
3. A lack of power for pumping water & a lack of water itself
4. Contamination
5. Distribution capabilities 

The first impact of such a situation is felt by businesses - large & small and the next impact is on government collection of taxes (direct and/or indirect). People want to become better citizens and are unable to for a lack of water & energy as their energies are sapped up worrying for families & their own survival,relevance and most start doubting their efforts,the results - that said the recompense for doing good work is nothing but glad tidings - just be patient & be rewarded for patience.

The way out of the mess is ordinary folks must work more with each other in good spirit and evaluate all ideas. This strengthens local business & government both & leads to lesser crime - benefits are better long term results that benefit one & all.To sum up benefits are:

1. Local residents,workers,nonprofits and most importantly are empowered - eg http://www.nextdrop.org/waterstory/  people know when water will be available next
    time.
2. Know how much ground water is available in that area. Prepare for capture of rain water & use even waste water!
3. Evaporation,soil erosion & leaks are minimized by say using Solar power on top of Canals,soil erosion by suitable polymer films,evaporation by say use of shade balls!
4. Accurately measure & distribute water for all. Stick on water meters are or will be available.
5.  Consumption & conservation efforts by different sectors must be highlighted for others to use - eg there is new tech that uses sound to suppress fires in certain cases!

 When people have more cash on hand & are literally not forced to pay very high rates for basic water - a certain section of people call them the silent minority who make the difference by paying taxes on time,ensure cordial relations with neighbors & government officials only then they stay other wise many such people move elsewhere for a better life. No city or village wants to lose such a backbone.

That is why there is a very strong case for Big businesses to give back more,governments also have to facilitate a lot more & not harass citizens - there is a genuine need to take care of water stress,energy shortage & use water a lot better.

Just remember almost everything depends on water directly or indirectly and all gadgets + people working together gives meaningful results a lot faster - a great eg of such an effort is http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/research/c4cw/overview.do

Hope this guides at least a few big businesses & influential people to do more for water stress alleviation and limiting water level rise & sustainable everything - COP 21 talks is an awesome opportunity - let us all act together!NOW!

Become awesome ....

Become awesome at work,earn,learn & spread joy - get more followers - Some very useful tips on food & water with some relevant links!

1. Drink enough water - you have heard & read enough about the importance of drinking water - now know when thirst will start to drain you & act to replenish the water in your body please see www.hidrate.me 
2. Green tea during snack hours - for a few people green tea or coffee works like magic - include including such breaks rejuvenates people - for many the point is doing something which gives global benefits & yet the start is small - the drink can be coffee & the snack can be eating biscuits made with Coffee Flour read more at http://www.coffeeflour.com
