Chinese supercomputer Tianhe-1A will be used for urban design

The creators of the Chinese supercomputer Tianhe-1A, one of the most powerful supercomputers in the world, plan to use it not only for performing ordinary computing tasks, but also for planning the construction of future cities.

As reported by the developers, Tianhe-1A can perform planning, design, and manage the construction of buildings in the city. In addition, with the help of modeling, a supercomputer can accurately calculate the amount of building materials needed for erecting structures, the resource peopledaily.com.cn reports.

"The use of Tianhe-1A supercomputer in designing a city metro can reduce production costs by 10-20%," says the supercomputer supercomputer manager.

According to the creators, taking into account the computing power of the supercomputer at 2507 trillion operations per second, in the future Tianhe-1A will have a huge advantage in the field of urban planning, meteorological forecasts, the creation of biomedical and other complex equipment.

Recall that not only the supercomputer Tianhe-1A goes beyond the "usual" to him calculations. For example, a supercomputer Watson will generate recipes for cooks.
