“We’ve reached the exaflop era”. Super computers allow countries to conduct cutting-edge scientific research. In a great article by FT (free full version via the Tweet below) Oliver Roeder lays out the state of the super computer race and gives examples of discoveries made by those nations holding the fastest machines in history.

Have a great week!
