4大終極計算難題待解

揭秘超新星

????更強大的超級計算機能揭開宇宙中一些最奇異的現(xiàn)象。舉例來說，未來科學家們或許能模擬恒星爆炸時巨大力量的互相作用。這些事件被稱為超新星，它們噴出的能量和光照經(jīng)常超過整個銀河系。超新星不僅涉及天體物理學，還涉及化學和核反應。運行涵蓋所有相關科學的程序將需要百萬萬億次數(shù)據(jù)。有了如此強大的力量，下一代超級計算機有望揭開外太空的神秘面紗。（財富中文網(wǎng)）

Inside supernovae

????More powerful supercomputers could shine a light on some of the most foreign phenomena in the universe. For example, scientists in the future may be able to model the awesome forces that interact when a star explodes. Those events, called supernovae, often spew enough energy and light to outshine an entire galaxy. Supernovae involve not just astrophysics, but chemical and nuclear reactions. Running programs that includes all the sciences at play would require an exaflop of data. With that much power, the next generation of supercomputers could bring the mysteries of deep space closer to home.
