There could be at least three supercomputers that can perform over a billion billion (quintillion) calculations per second in the High-Performance Linpack (HPL) benchmark by the end of 2024. Supercomputers have various applications in scientific research and analysis, including physical simulations, quantum mechanics, molecular modelling, and weather forecasting. The world's top supercomputers have significantly increased in power in recent years.
There could be at least three supercomputers that can perform over a billion billion (quintillion) calculations per second in the High-Performance Linpack (HPL) benchmark by the end of 2024. If each person on Earth could do one of these calculations per second, it would still take over four years to do what these computers can in a second. Supercomputers can be used for a wide variety of purposes, including scientific research and analysis that works to the benefit of humanity.
Specific fields where they have proven particularly useful include physical simulations, quantum mechanics, molecular modelling, cryptographic system development, weather forecasting, and climate research. The world’s top supercomputers have rapidly grown much more powerful in the past few years, thanks in no small part to substantial hardware advancements from major chip vendors like AMD and Intel. Where the fastest supercomputer achieved 442 petaflops per second (Pflop/s) in HP 2020, it has climbed to over 1,000 Pflop/s in 2023

Expand Your Horizons: Acquire New Skills in 2024It is very important to get the body ready for any physical activity and to bring down the heart rate after any hectic routine. At the beginning of the year, we often ask ourselves pertinent questions such as, did I achieve all that I needed to do last year, and what is it that I can do to be a better version of myself? This is when we go on fact-finding missions for classes we can enrol in, to either improve our skills with a view to increasing our value to be paid more, or simply to go on an exciting journey of learning to hone our life skills. The World Health Organization defines life skills as “abilities for adaptive and positive behaviour that enable individuals to deal effectively with the demands and challenges of everyday life”. We also want to have more fun and increase our networks and circles, but any new skills we learn help us lead a more meaningful life. For 2024, forget the tired music, dance, language and sport lessons, and expand your horizons by acquiring these skills
