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...

Group Anagrams – Python Solution Explained

Problem Overview The Group Anagrams problem is a common challenge in coding interviews and competitive programming. The goal is to group a list of strings such that all anagrams are placed in the same group. Anagrams are words that contain the same characters but in different orders. For example, given the input ["eat", "tea", "tan", "ate", "nat", "bat"] , the expected output is [['eat', 'tea', 'ate'], ['tan', 'nat'], ['bat']] . Approach and Solution In this blog post, we'll discuss an efficient solution using Python's built-in data structures. The provided code uses a dictionary to group the anagrams. Here’s a step-by-step explanation of the approach: Code Breakdown Explanation Initialization: We use defaultdict from the collections module to create a dictionary ( hm ) where each key will map to a list of anagrams. This is useful because it automatically initializes ...

What is a Processor?

Smartphones have been the most important part of our lives. We have seen the evolution of our  handsets. First we saw landlines which were mess of tangled wires then we saw mobile phones which is successor of landlines. They were portable devices from which you can make calls then we witnessed emergence of Smartphones which were  considered as portable computers which also allows us to make calls. What is a Processor? Underneath that touchscreen display there is a full- fledged computer that commands your apps so that they function properly. A processor executes what you want your smartphone to do or in other word you can say processor is brain of computer. there is Exynos, Snapdragon, quad-core octa-core etc. What is a core? It is an element of surprises. They are present inside processor and are responsible for reading the command and executing them. First devices came with single core processor but later on scientists invented more advanced processors such as dual core , So...
