I was able to take a training course on CUDA-Q on 12/22/2025 at The University of Tokyo in Kashiwa Campus.

The video above is the Miyabi Supercomputer I got to take a look at.

• Interesting question about Global Grid & Supercomputer on Quora

• New Supercomputer will unite x86, Power 9 and ARM chips

• Silicon Brain: 1,000,000 ARM cores - Computerphile

• Quantum supercomputer could ‘change life completely’

• Connection Machine CM-1 T-Shirt I found

Since my GPU (GeForce GTX 1070 Ti) has a lot of horsepower, I am going to experiment with GPU aided SQL systems at my lab. MapD is one candidate, and also look at this article I found:

I've been taking note on latest move on NVIDIA, seems like they are releasing a GPU called Turing for mining, according to rumors on the net.

Supercomputers are being built on top of the Ethereum through projects such as Golem. This is a major paradigm shift for the H/PC industry. I think I will invest in GPU makers such as Nvidia and AMD soon, as I know for sure the demand will increase exponentially due to increased mining operations. Oh yes, that reminded me, DMM is going to make a mining farm soon.

Just a thought: If a quantum supercomputers exists and is able to 'crack' (mine in an instant) bitcoin and other cryptocurrency, wouldn't that make the cryptocurrency free-fall at a certain time in the future for sure? Hm.... I know many have thought of this but, yeah.

7/13/2017: Update on the above thought: Yes, I've been researching around a bit, and it seems that it is possible that cryptocurrency based on the current algorithms will be prone to quantum supercomputers. But, I'm hoping that such a day won't come soon since that will mean the end of cryptography based on RSA algorithms etc. If somebody stored all the encoded traffic (which such and such parties are doing) it can all be decrypted easily with this quantum supercomputer. 

If you have models for this, it will be interesting. 

2/21/2018: Update on the above thought:

Quantum algorithms such as quantum encryption probably have to be implemented in cryptocurrency in the coming years, and I think there are researchers working on this already.

I am interested in this technology called ARM big.LITTLE (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_big.LITTLE)
