Ars Technica: Feds failing in bid to take a supercomputer from a climate research center. “There are still additional threats to NCAR, including breaking it up, transferring other resources, and even selling its Boulder headquarters. So, this victory is far from the end of the threats. But the legal issues that decided the case are likely to apply to the additional threats, unless the […]

Spain unveils a €9.8 million quantum supercomputer.

Spain has unveiled its third quantum supercomputer, a 9.8-million-euro investment aimed at speeding up research and artificial intelligence (AI).

The third quantum computer of the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) will be integrated into the MareNostrum 5 system, capable of combining classical supercomputing, artificial intelligence and quantum computing.

The "AI" phenomenon and craze has been discussed endlessly, including the vast computational and energy requirements of dedicated #datacenters

There is an important split betwen model building and inference of statistical models (and hence also #llm ) which means there is not one but two problems to solve.

The first one is *highly* non-trivial. It bumps against #mooreslaw and requires #supercomputing networking tricks. The datacenter must operate as one giant machine
