Talk:Summit (supercomputer)

Start?

When did it go into operation? When was it officially the world's fastest? 5.34.29.116 (talk) 02:10, 9 June 2018 (UTC)

It went into service on 8 June 2018.--Terry Patterson (talk) 15:13, 17 June 2018 (UTC)

Here is the announcement of it taking over at the top: [1] --Terry Patterson (talk) 09:48, 28 June 2018 (UTC)

Unit of Measure

Since when has basketball court been a unit of measure? Maybe add the sq ft /sq meter in parenthesizes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bruce A. WIlliamson (talk • contribs) 13:38, 23 October 2019 (UTC)

Uses of Supercomputer

I'm thinking of adding a section for the uses of the supercomputer. It is currently only briefly mentioned in the history section which seems scanty.

Any objections?

It seems fine, especially since it was recently used to find 77 chemicals that could stop the spread of SARS-CoV-2, which is a pretty big thing at the moment and people are likely to end up finding their ways here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.91.195.215 (talk) 13:41, 21 March 2020 (UTC)

ExaOps, not ExaFlops

The first paragraph: "Summit was the first supercomputer to reach exaflop (a quintillion operations per second) speed, achieving 1.88 exaflops during a genomic analysis and is expected to reach 3.3 exaflops using mixed-precision calculations.[9]"

According to the reference material this is exaop not exaflop.
