Development of technology and computer architecture \u2013 from 1-processor serial computers to supercomputers<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h5>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

On October 26, 2021 the third lecture of our \u201eSupercomputing in science\u201c series took place on the premises of the Computational centre of the Slovak Academy of Sciences\u00a0<\/a> Doc. \u0160perka, who is also responsible for the Computer museum, showed development of computer architectures and it\u2019s components, such as CPU, GPU and RAM.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Computational power increased thanks to new technologies and innovations in semiconductor device fabrication and enabled doubling the number of components per integrated circuit every two years \u2013 this trend is described by the Moore\u2019s law. However, we are now approaching physical limits in this area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another way of speeding up calculations is to use parallel approach, supported by today\u2019s supercomputer architectures, including high-speed interconnecting network. Doc. \u0160perka described the history from the first parallel vector computers and Cray-1 supercomputer up to modern supercomputers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lecture series is a joint activity of the Computer museum<\/strong><\/a> COO SAS and National Competence Center for HPC<\/a>.<\/strong> NCC, as the primary contact point for HPC in Slovakia, covers, among other things, educational and dissemination activities in this area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can watch the recording of the event on Facebook<\/a><\/strong> and YouTube<\/a> <\/strong>and you can already register for our next lectures. Schedule and registration:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
