What is a Supercomputer? (Tour of Argonne National Lab)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 июн 2024
- I got a personal tour of the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility, which houses two powerful supercomputers: Mira and Theta. They are used to run scientific simulations of complex systems like fluid dynamics or even the entire universe.

Nick! Thanks for coming out and making this awesome video!
Thanks for having me!
FYI: I know the on-location segments are quieter, so I made sure there were English captions when I uploaded just in case you needed them :-)
Excellent vlog. I might be alone in saying this, but don't be afraid to do more of these. If it doesn't fit in with the asylum, do this. Bring that contagious manic love for communicating science to any other adventures you partake of in the future
Yeah, I think this video style definitely belongs here on this channel and I will do more. I just need to take better equipment next time.
I have recently found your channel after ive been through almost every other science youtuber. (Im a science youtuber-junkie i admit) just had to say your content is absolutely top tier and criminally underrated. Will make sure to support you on patreon :)
Thank you for your support!
True true.
I love your videos Nick. I have seen many science channels. But I have never found a channel like this before. You explain things so clearly and in a fun way that I understand everything. Even quantum mechanics, which is the weirdest and most complicated thing in the universe. Keep making videos like this. The channel deserves more subscribers than there are atoms in the universe
20 years from now this will be your cell phone
Nah. Two reasons.
1.Miniaturization is slowing down and hitting a limit allready.
2. Way too powerful and pointless to be allowed in the general public.
Much more likely you can buy access to one online if you got the green.
IMO (in my opinion)
🤯
Guðmundur Ingi Guðmundsson quantum computing might change that in the future
@@gumunduringigumundsson9344 you FORGOT 3. IT WILL BECOME A BLACK HOLE IF YOU SHRINK IT SO MUCH :)
Thanks for sharing knowledge!
But can it run crysis?!
Ha!
Wow! I mean... WOW! Completely speechless! 😯
You should put a mic on the people you talk to in videos like this, which you should make more of by the way.
Yes, good idea. Thank you for the suggestion. I just wasn't prepared. It's the first time I had ever done a video like this, so I didn't know what to expect. There's now a whole list of things I would do differently.
Nick Lucid Another suggestion: if possible, bring more cameras. Sometimes you'll find one camera caught something another didn't, or gave something a better perspective.
You can also try sound normalization when you cut videos. I think video editors should have it somewhere, one just needs to find, how to do it properly.
That's super cool! I bet the VR was surreal.
It was super weird. They had to move the chairs out of the way so I wouldn't run into them as I walked around. It's a great interface though, very intuitive.
Beautiful stuff.
That was fun. We need a video on possible Asylum-based solutions to write speeds.
Thank you for sharing about 💻
Nick, great hit on this one. Wish this was like a 30 minute more in-depth one. And, o yea, mic the peeps next time.
Hi Nick, what a great video. How things have moved on from the first vacuum tube machines. Cheers.
WE ARE READY FOR NEXT ROUND OF SPACE RACE !
Nice!
we just used this video for our computer programming class haha thank you :)
You're welcome 🤓
Nice video
Like your every video
Keep it up Nick lucid
Thanks!
Wow. Never had a chance to see a supercomputer. Me want moar such videos :D
Fantastic video. Pls do more of these :) But the audio definitely needs some improvement..
Yes, I will take better equipment next time. It's the first time I had done a video like this, so I didn't know what to expect.
This was such a cool vid! The recorded audio in the tour could use some honing though.
Yeah, it was my first "rodeo." I wasn't (technologically) prepared. Also, I regret not just putting this up on the main channel two years ago.
@@NickLucid You have a certain style for your videos on this channel so I can understand your reluctance to post a video "out of character" here. Nevertheless, it was neat to see your enthusiasm of an awesome place I would love to visit myself. Thank you for all your hard work by the way. I've learned a lot from you and your talent for breaking down really complicated things for the layman!
From India 🥳🤩
They need to build a raid 0+1 out of SSDs to keep up with storage issues then. Heck with the money they spent to build that, they could use these ssd drives
Intel DC P3608 SSDPECME040T401 Half-Height, Half-Length (HH-HL) 4TB PCI-Express 3.0 x8 MLC Enterprise Solid State Drive in a raid 0+1 config. At 3gb/write and 5gb/reads get like a hundred of them in raid 0 +1 and you have some crazy fast storage
We need a new exa-scale visit this time to Frontier!
Didn't know about it. Thanks! Reading about it now.
On a semi related topic, quantum computers are mainly conceptualised and partly built using the concepts of superposition and entanglement as explained by Copenhagen. But what if De Broglie Bohm hypothesis turns out to be true?
Whatever interpretation you use for quantum mechanics, the math and the results are still the same. It doesn't really matter which interpretation turns out to be correct.
It's not actually correct nick, interpretation do matter, even if both interpretations give same result, one of them still can be more correct than other one.
What programming language did you use for your 'three body' simulation? Would you work in such a facility if the opportunity presented itself?
I used Python for my three-body simulation. The downside is you have to program in all the physics and I don't know enough about coding to do that efficiently. It works great with three objects, but it runs super slow with several hundred (which is why I'm already talking to someone with better software and better coding skills for a video I'm working on).
As for working there, I doubt I have the skill set to work in the computer lab. Argonne runs lots of physics projects that I might be qualified for, but experimental physics isn't really my thing. Theoretical physics is more my thing. I wouldn't mind visiting to see the experimental work though :-)
nice
Niice!
It was pretty amazing. I still feel like I should have put this on the main channel. I'm full of regret.
@@NickLucid LoL
Aren't we all? ☺
I bet it was awesome to be there yeah!
Ehm..
I forbid you have any regrets dude. Please.
You too cool and hardworking.
Tip for views:
You should perhaps see and study Joe Scott's channel.. he rose very fasst.. I found him as he collaborated in a doomsday scenario video with my favourite human since Douglas Noel Adams.. mister Isaac Arthur. Joe Scott is learning from a dude who has a channel and teaches how the youtube algorythm works like a "cheatcode" for toutubers to get views. I will edit and post some links here.
Brian T Johnsson's channel is about the algorithm ruclips.net/video/iY5vIqisrK8/видео.html
Joe's second channel talking about Vid con.
ruclips.net/video/rkw7ELQX-js/видео.html
Joe's vid with SFIA
ruclips.net/video/X2YtamBhSHg/видео.html
Mayybe you can collaborate also. I bet Isaac would love to. Here is his ruclips.net/video/EsXmDKQp5_E/видео.html
Joe went to Vid Con. Perhaps you should too.. you are most certainly big enough and skilled.
Another thing.. not important.
Someone else posted here that this lvl of computer will be in our cellphones 20 years from now.
To which I replied:
Nah. Two reasons.
1.Miniaturization is slowing down and hitting a limit allready.
2. Way too powerful and pointless to be allowed in the general public.
Much more likely you can buy access to one online if you got the green.

Nick.
Thank you. You rock!
Good song 4u.
ruclips.net/video/L2kGNdE0b5Q/видео.html
And here is a funny and sad song for all teachers.
ruclips.net/video/3l3O2ncmkjA/видео.html
But all jokes aside.
Teaching is a hero's duty.
I'll cheer you on and support from afar. don't worry.
Heh. Just like I do for Isaac.
Best of luck to you and break a leg!
👊🐶☀️🌚🌏🧙♂️👍
What was that quote/prediction? Something like, computers will fill rooms and be twice as powerful? Not far off.
A supercomputer linked to your iPhone. That’s classic.
Yeah I noticed.. dang what an attachment to your phone lol. Instant classic indeed.
Is that 2070's Scimandan at 4:26 ? lol
Every time when I see the homogenous universe I feel like nothing :)
Me too.
Can i play god or war at 4K, 60 fps on tetha?
Would it work? Yes. Would your "project" get approved? Probably not.
Nick Lucid damn!
Why they don't use that amazing computer power to simulate dark matter? I want to know what it's made!!x
Wait... fluid dynamics is a complex system ? Just use Bernoulli’s equation ;)
0:24 Huh! Even super computer has UX officer?
can it run minecraft server tho
Is it me or the audio is a bit bad whenever u switch the video to the supercomputer lab, I think it's not just me
Shreyas Rd of course the audio quality is bad compared to the other one! It's a vlog!!
Yeah, it's the first time I had ever done a video like this, I was unprepared. They require different equipment. Next time it will be better.
Hehe its ok ...it was really nice ..... love ur stuff hope u grow
Was that AwkwardM's pink hair?
Yep! She had fun with it during the summer months :-)
However, It cannot calculate the Graham's number....
So, no hope of Tree(3) either.....
Yeah....but can it run crysis?! .... I think that joke totally FLOPped.
Brandon Murphy 🤔 😂
I'm a scientist and I am a nerd to use it for bitcoining growth research 🤓
HAHAHA! I don't think they'll approve that use 😉
