Flash Gordon supercomputer

Flash Gordon supercomputer

Supercomputers might have lost their rather iconic status, with different countries going off on their own tangents to roll out what they classify as supercomputers. Heck, the folks in China want to build their own without relying on American chips, while the Spanish are working on theirs that rely on cellphone chips. Well, the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) decided to plug in their first supercomputer that uses nothing but flash storage, so you can kiss goodbye to the standard spinning disks that we have all come to know and love when it comes to supercomputer storage.
