Programming model

Could we have something about the programming model and operating system for this computer. How is the parallelism exploited? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.40.243.42 (talk) 23:39, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

I'll see what I can find. James086 14:51, 15 November 2012 (UTC)

Name inspiration?

I doubt it, I can't find a source to link the two. I think it's just due to it's titanic processing power. James086 19:40, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

Reviewing
This review is transcluded from Talk:Titan (supercomputer)/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Reviewer: W.D. (talk · contribs) 00:48, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
    Seems like it meets MoS
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
    Refs seem reliable and all OK
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:
  6. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:
    Seems good to go, well written.

System volume and mass?

Can anyone provide a volume and mass for the full Titan system, please? It's the first machine on the planet theoretically capable of simulating neural state changes at the same rate as a human brain (around 10Hz) and I want to compare Titan's physical embodiment with that of a biological brain. I've estimated its volume from its area in the article x 2m (so about 800m). I therefore estimate its mass to be around 500 tonnes based on what I know of the air space in typical computer cabinets but more accurate figures would be very useful. Many thanks if you can help. p.r.newman (talk) 13:45, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
