World's first super super computer.

Its the era of computers and everyone knows what they do, its advantages and disadvantages but somehow people saw need of more advanced tech which can solve billions and trillions parts calculation in milliseconds or more quickly.

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, molecular modeling(computing the structures and properties of chemical compounds, biological macromolecules, polymers, and crystals), and physical simulations (such as simulations of the early moments of the universe, airplane and spacecraft aerodynamics, the detonation of nuclear weapons, and nuclear fusion). Throughout their history, they have been essential in the field of cryptanalysis.

Every developed and developing country began the race of building super computers and were succesful in building them. Some of super computers are Aaditya (India), Shaheen II (Saudi Arabia), Vulcan etc.

Aaditya
Now China is planning ahead of building first super super computer prototype by the end of 2017. Building super computer is digital arm race and china with this step mohing ahead in the lead.Last year, worlds fastest computer Sunway taihu light was reveiled by the country.This year according to state news agency Xinhua, the government has set its sight to build worlds first prototype exascale computer, a machine capable of making billion billion calculations per second.

One of engineer at country's National Supercomputer centre ,Zahang ting said that prototype will be ready till end of 2017 but the finished product won't be operationable for several years. He also said that this exascale computer will be 200 times more powerful than Tianhe-1 recognised as world fastest in 2010.

1235. Maximum Profit in Job Scheduling

Hi everyone, Today's post is little bit intriguing to me as it took me some time to get t the solution. I have been out of practice for a bit so I was not able to do it in the DP. I didn't want to copy the code. Though i understood the code after i checked its solution in the discussions. Anyways, i tried to do it with heap and with some thinking I was able to do it and with my surprise It performed real well. I would like to jump to the solution but first I would like to explain a little bit about heaps so you can get better understanding of the code. A heap is like a special type of list where the smallest (or largest) item is always at the front. Think of it like a priority line at a theme park, where the person with the highest priority goes to the front. There are two types of heaps: Min Heap: The smallest item is at the front. It's like standing in a line where the shortest person is always at the front. Max Heap: The largest item is at the front. It's like stand...

1456, Maximum Number of Vowels in a Substring of Given Length

Hi, folks today I am here with an interesting coding problem from Leetcode. *To directly go to the question please click here. So I will walk through the solution. It will be a brute force and an optimized way solution. I will be explaining the optimized way solutions in depth. # Intuition For any substring of length k, we need to find how many vowels are there in it and provide the highest count of all counts of vowels in a substring. Test Case 1 Input k = 2 and s='asjdee' Output - 2 Explanation: As for substring of length k=2, in the string 's' we have 'ee' when the length is k and the vowels count is 2 Test Case 2 Input k=3 and s='aasdiisdwe' Output - 2 Explanation - For all the substrings with length k = 3 we have 'aas' and 'dii' with 2 vowels each in it. Brute Force - Looping (twice) - Gives TLE (Not recommended) # Approach Create a hashmap (dictionary) with all the vowels in it. Loop through the string till len(s)-k element of strin...

2125. Number of Laser Beams in a Bank

Hi Guys, Today is 3 January 2024 and below is the solution for problem of the day So, the question we have is Number of Laser Beams in a Bank .  In this we have to find total number of lasers. So just imagine it as we have to find number of lines connecting the dots.  so if there are 2 dots. we will have one line, if we have 3 dots we will get 3 lines, and so on... Now relate the above provided example, let's relate this to our problem statement.   We have 4 walls, first wall has 3 lasers, second wall has 0 lasers, third wall got 2 lasers and last wall has 1 laser. So as i suggested we need to connect dots so make sure to only join adjacent dots. So lasers from 1 and 3 wall  will connect to each other (6 lasers) and wall 3 and 4 will connect to each other (2 lasers). So total of 8 lasers, which is the required output anyways. class Solution : def numberOfBeams ( self , bank : List[ str ]) -> int : val = 0 # Initialize a variable `val` to store th...
