IBM supercomputer investigates green electricity

Energy giant General Electric (GE) will the IBM Summit supercomputer to run two new research projects that could boost the production of cleaner power.

Last month, the US Department of Energy (DoE), which hosts Summit in Oak Ridge National Laboratory, awarded a total of over seven million node hours on the supercomputer to 20 research teams, two of which belong to GE Research.

The Summit supercomputing system is the second most powerful in the world, behind Japan’s Fugaku supercomputer located. The Tame Apple press desperate to give their favourite company a plug in the story claimed that the Summit boasts system power equivalent to 70 million iPhone 11s. We are not sure which planet this figure came from. Summit can manage 200 petaFLOPS, while the iPhone 11 can do 2.65 GHz no matter how many of them there are.
