The Thinking Machine(Worlds fastest watercooled computer)

[FrozenSmoke88]

lol @ 1:14 its 70,000,000 bilion for 70 quadrillion. 70,000 billion would only be 70 trillion

[GODZILLAMANASS]

CM-5 is obsolete. My I7 will kick it's ass. Just Sayin.

[LarkaSojourn]

kewl, kewl, alaskaaaa ~

[NoGuff]

SkyNet's grandfather.

A recent article in The Daily Mail described 2 engineers developing robots that can evade detection by humans, meaning they know to hide from them, and how.

The egg-head scientists still think that they can develop A.I. and maintain complete control over it. They're living in a fantasy. They're too convinced of their own superiority that they can't see the forest for the trees.

[TheChickenViolator]

Bet you have a map to the on button

[nebunu1force]

That's impressive... :D

[Consumerofknowledge]

And people wonder how the antichrist will create a one world currency. With the most powerful computers, of course.

[sonicgreek]

Has anyone a link for this to see all the video. I can see tha is from Discovery, where can i find it?

[jruddock]

I doubt the NSA actually makes public exactly what computer capacity they have.

Anyway, the video shows "Cray" computers but mentions "Thinking Machine". These are not the same thing. A very obsolete CM-5 does show up near the end.

In any case, by my calculations even the modern equivalent of these computers could never brute crack even standard encryption "in just a few seconds". Even if they could, just double up the encryption to add thousands of years to the time required to decrypt it.

[D0DGECHARGERFAN]

you have to be real fucking stupid to think that

[onlyadot]

@jruddock yeah, It sounds a little exaggerated I'd say it takes it a week.

[Muse595]

it might be a super computer... but you cant watch porn on it :S

[fzort]

Thinking Machine wasn't the nickname of the machine, it was the name of the company that built it (Thinking Machines Corp., actually). The computer was the CM-5 "FROSTBURG", now in a museum. It could perform at ~65 GFLOPs. For comparison, a $300 PS3 these days is in the teraflop range. Cool blinkenlights though.

[iLoveOrangutans]

with that I could find out my ex girlfriends msn password lol

[royalsteven]

I didn't know they locked Daft Punk inside of a computer O_O

[ascentuk]

will it do minesweeper

[superoctopus]

Yeah, but can it play World of Warcraft?

[highvoltage138]

NO , its not for gaming ^^

[gonepishing]

haha it may not be cleat, but this supercomputer was built between 1989 and 1992.

a quadcore computer could prbly outpace it today

[unnaturaltragedy]

I love how there is at least some thought to aesthetics for many supercomputer designs. These are very nice looking.

[fzort]

@unnaturaltragedy Yeah, aesthetics were definitely a consideration in the CM-5 design. Thinking Machines got Maya Lin to design it.

[jabiv25]

@unnaturaltragedy Agreed. As an architect, I too was struck by their nice design.

[taycuhtoe]

can this run vista?

[bernie23232323232323]

i wonder how much porn i can watch with this computer within 24 hours :O

[pplprsn65]

It still can't play crysis.

[Groudon185p]

Jesus, My build wouldn't take 22 years would be more than 2 but either way that things massive in size and power, Might be able to play crysis on fullllll max xD

[MetallicAuptuned]

Wonder how big the hard drive is on that thing...Has to be like a bazillion exobytes (what ever the hell those are)

[D0DGECHARGERFAN]

what a fag u are Jocke666

[Jocke666]

pfffff... i got one of theese in my room to play WoW with!

[xgdragon123]

i wonder if that thinking machine has internet...and how fast it would be...man the game's qualities would be awesome...downloading would take 2 seconds..*^^*

[gebi407]

how imagine 20 years ago maybe more the normal computer that was as big as your house was used only for calculating small numbers and counting vote's but now a day it can bi size of a nail ... what will happen 20 years from now in the future??

[morepattiesplease]

We will probably look back at this computer and laugh in 20 years!

[D0DGECHARGERFAN]

i doubt that as most people that know anything about computers, the cray-1 is over 20 years old and it is still a true legend and will never be laughed at...

[Suckiesn]

Nice CM-5's!!!

They should use it to run a real Jurassic Park!

[tyler10125]

ya right , and what are thay use ing it for,

halo 3 ?

chess?

i think not

ps 420

[preludedriver226]

is that not enough to monitor every one's phones calls and record them when certain words are spoken? Seems pretty bad ass. But what do i know?? Nothing...

[NerdsKrew]

holy fuck nice computer lol hahah
