Summary

Description
English: ESOcast 51: All Systems Go for Highest Altitude Supercomputer

One of the most powerful supercomputers in the world has now been fully installed and tested at its remote, high altitude site in the Andes of northern Chile. This marks one of the major remaining milestones toward completion of the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), the most elaborate ground-based telescope in history. The special-purpose ALMA correlator has over 134 million processors and performs up to 17 quadrillion operations per second, a speed comparable to the fastest general-purpose supercomputer in operation today.

Deutsch: Hoch oben in den abgelegenen Anden im Norden Chiles hat man einer der leistungsstärksten Supercomputer der Welt errichtet und erfolgreich getestet. Damit wurde einer der wichtigen verbliebenen Meilensteine auf dem Weg zur Fertigstellung des Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) erreicht, dem ausgeklügeltsten bodengebundenen Teleskops in der Geschichte. Der ALMA-Korrelator ist ein Spezialgroßrechner mit über 134 Millionen Prozessoren und ist in der Lage bis zu 17 Rechenoperationen pro Sekunde auszuführen. Damit erreicht er eine Geschwindigkeit, die vergleichbar mit der des aktuell schnellsten Universalgroßrechners ist.

Español: Uno de los supercomputadores más poderosos del mundo ha sido instalado y puesto a prueba a una gran altitud, en sus remotas instalaciones ubicadas en los Andes del norte chileno. Esto marca uno de los hitos más importantes que quedan hacia la realización del Atacama Large Millimeter / submillimeter Array (ALMA), el más elaborado telescopio terrestre de la historia. El correlador hecho especialmente para ALMA tiene más de 134 millones de procesadores y realiza hasta 17 mil billones de cálculos cada segundo una velocidad comparable a la más rápida supercomputadora de uso general en funcionamiento hoy.
