I don't see how knowing more of what the climate is changing will do. Have you seen the hurricanes and tornadoes that we have at least a week of warning, that kill 20k people?

I think we need a better way of handling everything first. Then, we can worry about trying to tell what mother nature will do next.]]>May 7th 2008 3:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/07/researchers-tout-20-million-processor-strong-supercomputer-to-st/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/07/researchers-tout-20-million-processor-strong-supercomputer-to-st/
Now admittedly the current version will not scale to 20 million (only a paltry 884,736 to get you at 3 PetaFlops), but future versions should get you closer]]>May 7th 2008 4:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/07/researchers-tout-20-million-processor-strong-supercomputer-to-st/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/07/researchers-tout-20-million-processor-strong-supercomputer-to-st/May 7th 2008 12:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/07/researchers-tout-20-million-processor-strong-supercomputer-to-st/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/07/researchers-tout-20-million-processor-strong-supercomputer-to-st/1km?

How does this make sense. Is this in a day, a week, a year? You could model climate change on an GLOBAL scale with a 486 if you had enough time. (I think lol).]]>May 7th 2008 12:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/07/researchers-tout-20-million-processor-strong-supercomputer-to-st/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/07/researchers-tout-20-million-processor-strong-supercomputer-to-st/May 7th 2008 12:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/07/researchers-tout-20-million-processor-strong-supercomputer-to-st/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/07/researchers-tout-20-million-processor-strong-supercomputer-to-st/
That is lets say you want to simulate what the weather looks like in 100 years, witha 486 it may take 200 years to simulate 11 million years may take 2 million etc.

So I reckon to be declared as having the capability of computing climate change, you have to be able to compute it faster than the climate change itself.

It's possible that if you are computing the climate of 1 million years from now u dont need to simulate the intervening time .. but i'm ignoring that.

And yeah I do see your point .. it's valid etc. I am just being pedantic here.

Climate change: environmental force that affects everyone.
UV radiation, earthquakes, tidal patterns: environmental forces that affect everyone.

So I'm in support of research to understand and prevent anthropogenic climate change on a large scale. Got it? Or am I still making false equivalents?]]>May 7th 2008 1:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/07/researchers-tout-20-million-processor-strong-supercomputer-to-st/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/07/researchers-tout-20-million-processor-strong-supercomputer-to-st/May 7th 2008 1:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/07/researchers-tout-20-million-processor-strong-supercomputer-to-st/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/07/researchers-tout-20-million-processor-strong-supercomputer-to-st/May 7th 2008 1:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/07/researchers-tout-20-million-processor-strong-supercomputer-to-st/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/07/researchers-tout-20-million-processor-strong-supercomputer-to-st/May 7th 2008 2:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/07/researchers-tout-20-million-processor-strong-supercomputer-to-st/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/07/researchers-tout-20-million-processor-strong-supercomputer-to-st/May 7th 2008 2:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/07/researchers-tout-20-million-processor-strong-supercomputer-to-st/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/07/researchers-tout-20-million-processor-strong-supercomputer-to-st/May 7th 2008 12:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/07/researchers-tout-20-million-processor-strong-supercomputer-to-st/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/07/researchers-tout-20-million-processor-strong-supercomputer-to-st/May 7th 2008 1:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/07/researchers-tout-20-million-processor-strong-supercomputer-to-st/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/07/researchers-tout-20-million-processor-strong-supercomputer-to-st/May 7th 2008 1:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/07/researchers-tout-20-million-processor-strong-supercomputer-to-st/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/07/researchers-tout-20-million-processor-strong-supercomputer-to-st/May 7th 2008 3:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/07/researchers-tout-20-million-processor-strong-supercomputer-to-st/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/07/researchers-tout-20-million-processor-strong-supercomputer-to-st/May 7th 2008 1:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/07/researchers-tout-20-million-processor-strong-supercomputer-to-st/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/07/researchers-tout-20-million-processor-strong-supercomputer-to-st/May 7th 2008 1:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/07/researchers-tout-20-million-processor-strong-supercomputer-to-st/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/07/researchers-tout-20-million-processor-strong-supercomputer-to-st/May 7th 2008 1:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/07/researchers-tout-20-million-processor-strong-supercomputer-to-st/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/07/researchers-tout-20-million-processor-strong-supercomputer-to-st/May 7th 2008 1:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/07/researchers-tout-20-million-processor-strong-supercomputer-to-st/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/07/researchers-tout-20-million-processor-strong-supercomputer-to-st/
