Steve Chen Making China's Supercomputer Grid
nanotrends writes "Steve Chen was the principal designer of the Cray X-MP supercomputer. He recently created multi-teraflop blade based supercomputers for a Chinese company. He is now creating a supercomputer grid across China and he is working on a bio-supercomputer extension to
human brains called THIRD-BRAIN. The THIRD-BRAIN project has significant 3 year and 5 year targets."
I guess he's found something to do with Google's money.
As opposed to American Democratic four year non-plans which achieve nothing of historical note and abdicate national planning to corporations motivated only by profit for the shareholders?
Might I add that this abdication has turned out to be wildly successful? Most things should be turned over to busiensses (not just corporations which are but a category of private enterprise). I don't need a "four year plan" to live my life.
Personally, I'd rather die for my country working on a plan of significance even if it fails, rather than live my life in the meaningless no mans land of corporate quarterly statistics.
Get a job that you like even if it's at a non-profit rather than an evil corporation. Do something useful with your life. It's your choice anyway.
It is a horrifying future for humanity, and now that the meme of capitalism has spread to the formerly communist nations of Eastern Europe and Asia it represents a genuine threat to the future survival of the human race.
Right. Some aspects of this "horrifying future": end to poverty, the technology to address things like global warming, and an end to wars like those of the 20th Century. Keep it coming.
