World’s most powerful supercomputer
Until recently, the top spot on the list of world’s most powerful supercomputers was occupied by a Chinese machine. But friendly competition between countries has given the world a new set of top machines.
Now, it’s US researchers who have an edge. The new Summit supercomputer from the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee has more than enough processing power to topple the current record holder.
The new system boasts more than 1.5 exaflops of processing power. It is also the most power-efficient supercomputer built to date. The machine has a power consumption rating of 52.2 gigaflops per watt.
It’s unlikely the Japanese-built Fugaku will hold the top spot for long. The machine has a peak performance of 1 exaflop, and a sustained performance of 415.5 petaflops. The machine will start operating in 2021.
The top five supercomputers in the world are, in order of speed: Summit, Frontier, Tianhe-2A, Fugaku, and Lassen. The LUMI system in Finland is the largest in Europe, and has a HPL of nearly 152 petaflops.

Octopus brain and heart
Despite its small size, the octopus is extremely intelligent. In fact, it has the largest brain-to-body ratio of any invertebrate. These characteristics have led scientists to believe that octopuses are very complex animals.
The octopus is a deep-ocean dweller. Its blue-colored blood contains a copper-based protein called hemocyanin. This protein helps the octopus get oxygen in cold ocean environments.
Octopuses also have two gills. These gills transfuse oxygen from water. Each gill has a separate heart. The larger heart stops beating when the animal swims. The heart also pumps blood to the gills. The gills carry oxygen and other nutrients throughout the octopus’s body.
Octopuses are also known to be able to regenerate appendages. When a tentacle is lost, the octopus uses its mini brain to continue moving. The octopus also has a large central brain, located between its eyes. The central brain is made up of 180 million neurons. These neurons are connected to more than 40 million neurons in each arm.
The octopus’s nervous system has also been described as being extremely complex. Some of these neurons are interconnected in knots around the body. There are also loops in the neurons that may give the arm a simple form of short-term memory.
Famous basketball players
Among the best basketball players in the world are Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Kevin Durant, and Russell Westbrook. They all have been instrumental in winning numerous championships. These players are some of the most famous and respected basketball players in the world.
