U.S. military plans to build super-fast computers

Computers can perform calculations to one or a million trillion kuintilion per second center planned for the U.S. military. Institutions U.S. defense advanced research projects, DARPA, has submitted the first grant funds for the company as he wanted to build a super fast computer such exascale.

This computer is more powerful than the most advanced supercomputer in existence today.
Today's most sophisticated computers capable of completing one petaflop or 1,000 trillion per
second. DARPA expects the first prototype or prototype new super fast computer will start functioning
before the year 2018.

Exaplop equivalent to one million trillion calculations per second.
DARPA said the research project is required to help analyze the data wave is expected to be produced by the system and the military censor. Research project is called the High Performance Computing Ubiquitous program (UHPC).
The program will be directed to create a hardware evolutionary approach ''to overcome the limitations of existing''.

This approach is represented by Moore's Law which states the number of transistors that can
be mounted on a piece of silicon will double every 18-24 months.
Limit of that approach include the problem of resources, management and structures that arise when the size of the smaller components.
To get around this limitation, grant recipients will have to design the design using ''power'' a much
smaller per calculation.

DARPA wants to develop a radically ''computer architecture and programming model that will
smell of 100 to 1,000 times more energy efficient, with higher performance and more easily
programmed than the existing system''.

Industrial giant chip manufacturer Intel and Nvidia graphics card, MIT and Sandia National Laboratory is the first grant recipients that will be
used to create the prototype machine.
