Technology plays a major role in our lives. It has now totally changed the way we work and the way we live. We can now calculate and even organize our data easily and in no time, thanks to computers and advancements in their models that have taken the world by storm.
To say computer acts as a backbone of any business would not be an understatement. It can work faster than an ordinary man and save and produce information in a better way. Per second a computer can perform 10s of billion of calculations, which is impossible for humans. However, this is not the limit as human brain continues to explore the unexplored avenues.
A genius scientist Raijin recently launched the most powerful computer in Australia at Australia National University. This computer is a big help for Australian meteorologists who need to forecast climate. At the launch of the super powerful computer, head of Meteorology Rob Vertessy said via Courier Mail:
“You could say that we in the climate science community have a need for speed. The simple fact is that supercomputer capacity is a major determinant of our success in this field, but it’s always been a struggle to secure access to it.”
This computer is so fast that it can do the work of 30,000 ordinary computers alone. With its help, weather can be forecast frequently and in a more accurate manner. Also, they with the help of supercomputer scientists can predict heat waves and cyclones better before time, which cannot be done with a home PC.
This computer is an incredible development in the technology sector that will serve the mankind in much more effective ways. Being able to predict the weather not only allows the relevant authorities to prepare for it beforehand but also provides a sense of satisfaction to the general masses who might not become victims of any unforeseen weather related catastrophe. Senator Kim Carr said during the launch event:
“This leap in computing power will give our researchers insights and solutions to problems at a rate far quicker than previously possible. It keeps Australia at the forefront of global innovation and opens up new horizons for science and research.”
