What are governments using supercomputers for?

I can't imagine what you would need all that processing power for.

Anyone have ideas?

      Air Force probably wanted to do CFA (Computational Flow Analysis). That takes a lot of computational effort.

        They also used them for folding at home (even civilian consumer models had the app) which was the main reason mrna tech was finally released

            It's in wef documents I think it got purged from their site that used to have that interconnected ring Web thing that used to branch out.

            Basically they used f@h app for ((cancer research)) or some shit marketing fluff bs but what they really used it for was to brute force through the blood brain barrier and compute how to crack rna

    I think it's mostly for war games and weather simulations.
    The government also has access to technology like 20 years ahead of time so who knows what they're doing. Even those bottom dynamic robots are only the stuff that they allow you to see.

      Not anymore they don’t. They rely on COTS equipment these days just like everyone else. The government hasn’t been innovative in tech since the 80s. It’s all outsourced to someone else.

    Computational fluid dynamics is a hell of a drug that requires massive computational power. One of Sequoia's crowning achievements (2012) was real-time simulation of blood flow through the aorta of a human heart. That required 98,304 compute nodes with 16-core A2 (Power ISA) processors, so 1,572,864 cores, and 1.5PiB of memory.

      Why don’t they just write better software

        There is only so much optimization you can do on the math. And there is a lot of math to be done. Depending on the methodology of the simulation, there can be hundreds of operations required on every particle, for every time slice. And depending on the work being done, you can pretty easily being looking at 10^5+ particles in the simulation.

        You don't use cheap hacks in these sims because they're not games where you can laugh off a physics glitch. Instead, they're done as correctly as possible so there aren't glitches and real predictions can be made.
        It's expensive, but it's much much cheaper than having to build lots of scale models and do physical testing of them all. (There's still that being done, but it is mostly used to validate the models.)

        theres terabytes of information in your dna, it's impossible to simulate a heart without tons of compute because there are literally billions of cells in even a small muscle

            I think they're stimulating this like a quadrillion times or something.
            Well yeah then it makes sense. Who knows maybe in the future they won't have to torture monkeys.

            To simulate a cell, you would have to first understand his cryptographic genetic code ... and write some bio-interpreter language or some shit

        They are. Skynet told them white Christian men would kill them sooner or later if they kept on with their schemes so they set out to eradicate them. Then it called them israelites and they unplugged it.

    I literally use these computers for a living. Basically they simulate hydrodynamic codes, shock ejecta, climate (not necessarily for the reasons you think), nuclear implosions, and a bunch of other stuff you can’t really get into specifics on. The resolution of some of these runs is pretty crazy. Hundreds of thousands of cores and billions of elements/cells, all with equations of state, failure models, and other things. Most grunt work only needs a few thousand cores max though.

    The supercomputers are what's hosting the simulation that we all live in. People say that we built the super computer clusters, but the reality is that they've always been here. The political elite and powers that be understand this and that's why renting processing power of the super computers is so expensive. We only managed to figure out how to siphon around 1% of the super computer cluster's capabilities and we can literally alter reality.

    No idea but it's kinda depressing computers are not all that powerful. Even to work on one movie, to do one effect on the whole movie requires hours of work and it's a lot more than your 16g of ram. To do a voxel video game like minecraft but better resolution would be insane
