Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The fastest supercomputers in the world 27.11.2012

The top500.org resource has published the jubilee, fortieth in a row, world ranking of the most high-performance supercomputers "TOP500 List of the world's top supercomputers". The rating is updated twice a year - in June and November. This time, its leader was the Titan Cray XK7 hybrid supercomputer based on NVIDIA Tesla processors, located at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), the main computing center of the US Department of Energy. The Titan system was deployed on a Jaguar 960 GPU Tesla M2090 supercomputer based on the NVIDIA "Fermi" architecture.

The Titan supercomputer consists of 18688 nodes, each of which includes a sixteen-core AMD Opteron processor and an Nvidia Tesla K20X graphics accelerator. In total, Titan has 560640 processors, including 261632 cores from the NVIDIA K20x accelerator. According to the LINPACK benchmark, the system performance is 17,59 petaflops.

"Tesla GPUs deliver over 85% of Titan's peak performance. This level of performance at this price point and power consumption simply cannot be achieved using CPUs alone," said Steve Scott, Chief Technology Officer, Tesla Products at NVIDIA. , starting to create a supercomputer. At the same time, it should be noted that most of the supercomputers included in the rating use only central processors.

The previous rating "TOP500 List of the world's top supercomputers" was headed by the Sequoia supercomputer from the Livermore National Laboratory. Lawrence, now in second place. In June, IBM's BlueGene/Q system took first place with an impressive LINPACK score of 16,32 petaflops. In addition, with 1 cores, the Sequoia system became the first supercomputer with more than one million cores.

The top five also included K Computer, a supercomputer manufactured by Fujitsu, located at the RIKEN Advanced Institute for Computational Science (Kobe, Japan), the Mira computing system from the Argonne National Laboratory, and the JUQUEEN supercomputer from the Jülich Research Center (Forschungszentrum Juelich) in Germany, considered the fastest in Europe.
