Supercomputers play an important role in the field of computational science, and are used for a wide range of computationally intensive tasks in various fields, including quantum mechanics, weather forecasting, climate research, oil and gas exploration, molecular modeling (computing the structures and properties of …

Two of the biggest heavyweights in tech, IBM and Microsoft, provide their enterprise customers with access to supercomputers today, which means supercomputing will be a reality for every business before you know it.

The extra computing power will allow scientists to develop more advanced simulations, like recreating even smaller particle interactions, which could pave the way for new research breakthroughs. The exascale systems will also be able to complete current research projects in less time.

Financial organisations use the power and performance of supercomputers in a variety of ways: Detection of credit card fraud – supercomputers enable a bank to easily run more fraud detection algorithms against tens of millions of credit card accounts.

Seven years later, in autumn 2019, Googles quantum computer Sycamore reached this milestone. This makes Google’s quantum computer about 158 million times faster than the world’s fastest supercomputer. The quantum computer uses the rules of quantum mechanics to perform calculations beyond human comprehension.

Sadly, he did not live long enough to actually see his virus particles under the electroIn 1905n microscope or learn how widespread and important they are. Martinus Beijerinck is often called the Father of Virology. Beijerinck’s laboratory grew into an important center for microbiology.

Creator of the ‘Love Bug’, one of the world’s first global computer viruses that affected 45 million, now works in a phone repair shop in the Philippines and says he regrets unleashing the malignant files in 2000.

The ILOVEYOU virus comes in an e-mail note with “I LOVE YOU” in the subject line and contains an attachment that, when opened, results in the message being re-sent to everyone in the recipient’s Microsoft Outlook address book and, perhaps more seriously, the loss of every JPEG, MP3, and certain other files on the …

Hacking (or more formally, “unauthorized computer access”) is defined in California law as knowingly accessing any computer, computer system or network without permission. It’s usually a misdemeanor, punishable by up to a year in county jail.

Here’s a look at the top ten most notorious hackers of all time.

• Kevin Mitnick. A seminal figure in American hacking, Kevin Mitnick got his start as a teen.
• Anonymous.
• Adrian Lamo.
• Albert Gonzalez.
• Matthew Bevan and Richard Pryce.
• Jeanson James Ancheta.
• Michael Calce.
• Kevin Poulsen.
