OMG ! My computer is a supercomputer. It cannot run Crysis.
logic.
Keshav Dwarka OMG MY CALCULATOR IS A SUPER COMPUTER!!
Keshav Dwarka Holy crap! So is mine!
Keshav Dwarka my pusi is super computer
The hair on my asscheeks is a supercomputer then.
That Titan CPU still wouldn't satisfy some CS 1.6 players..."Yeah I'm only getting 341fps..."
>but muh 720p 30 fps(every console gamer ever)
I'm a console peasant 80% of the time now, as I'm hooked on Diablo 3 RoS PS4 :P. I don't use my gaming rig so often, not so many great RTS games besides War-game RD :'(
Ronbo Fett or Diablo on the PC.
Real Bagels Have Curves lolol
It's like you play minecraft on a super computer. HEY MOM IM GETTING 100000000000000000fps!
1:33 "Crysis joke" was amazingly played. Good acting as well! LOVE IT!
And BTW great episode, this is the first time I had to play the video twice to get all the info.
Yeah that made me chuckle too
***** teslas are not designed to run crysis.... it would but it would such as you wouldn't have the practical and good system interconnection.
should've been "Can it run Minecraft??" been seeing a lot of those on 1.5k dollar builds.
***** because of the driver it would not run well as teslas actualy render each frame very very carefuly and so they render it really slow
and the titan is not a single computer its a system made up of hundrets and thousands of computers... so interconnection is important...
so, minecraft 4k 2000 fps. hmmm might be worth it
+lifeisgood12341 more like minecraft 24k 10000 fps
+R3AL PopCorn 24k is too little, probably 100000000k infinite fps
I saw a 22k pc on pcpartpicker, it run minecraft 8k 9999 fps
R3AL PopCorn 2 moch fur me m8
+R3AL PopCorn The price tag of this would be around *some calculations later* 60K USD
this channel should have been named FAP instead of Techquickie. It makes more sense since it's the name of this instructional series.
quickie = fap :D
See, this guy gets it -> Sergio Cruz
Fast As Possible
If you watch one of his WAN shows he explained all of the "hidden" sexual references... ;)
They're not very hidden.
But can it run minesweeper?
Yeah, but not with anti aliasing. I heard it can run the calculator at 4k, though!
If you buy a Supercomputer and install windows on it every games will run like a photon that never encounter an obstacle with FPS around 1Bill+ and with resolutions up to 253,956,096x126,978,048 on a specialized monitor.
Speaking about the config:
×CPUs at 4gHz each
×Times NVIDIA TESLA K××
×Amount of RAM (Probably in the TeraBytes zone)
×Amount of Storage(Probably in the Peta or YottaBytes Zone)
Water Cooling(obliged)
×PSUs of like 3000-4000WATTS each
No Wi-Fi (ethernet is barely on them so Fiber Optics is required)
k
OMG I'M DONE😂😂😂
First Last Lol 😅😅😅😂😂
I have a quad core brain, but I think I'm gonna upgrade to an 8-core brain and overclock it
Well if you'd compared that directly to the computing power of a real human brain, then not only would you be mentally deficient but also not be able to keep up with essential functions for living.
The human brain makes any conventional cpu look like a toaster... hmmm human brain powered gaming computers...
aspade01 Brains are more similar to GPUs, actually, because of thousands of fairly weak cores compared to just 2-8 large and strong ones. The raw computing power of a GPU is far superior to the human brain, but the _way_ the brain works allows us to do things that we can't figure out how to make computers do yet, and not for a lack of power. We know very little about neuroscience.
aspade01 so my inatal pentiom eqivalint bran is 2wek is wot u say. queston mar
letsgoiowa Correct, it is the efficiency and optimization of the human brain that keeps it superior untill we can find a way to further optimize our computer hardware.
You guys are just jealous with your single core brain XD
hey linus, here are some suggestions for your next video
a video about:
-Chokes, diodes, capacitors, mosfets, (super) alloys & more
OR
-kernels(Linux, windows NT, Monolithic (UNIX' kernel) etc),
OR
-firmware
OR
-wattage, voltage, amperage, ohms & more
OR
-VRM, Digi VRM & Digi+ VRM (with the addition of power phases)
OR
-Filesystems (fat32, ntfs, ext4 etc)
OR
-Omron mouse switches
OR
-Polling rate/refresh rate of a mouse. (would be a good addition to your mice afaps)
OR
-Contrast ratio/QR code/Kalih, Topra & Romer G switches (this is just a worst case scenario suggestion)
i'm not giving up until you do a video of my suggestions >__>
Thumbs up for file systems and that kernel
Techquickie
have you seen this comment? good suggestions
Keyvan Khadem Ravandi IMO some of those topics are getting too close to computer engineering or OS theory level for Linus' average viewer... questions like "What does a kernel actually do" and "How does my filesystem work" have pretty complex answers. faculty.salina.k-state.edu/tim/ossg/index.html
Keyvan Khadem Ravandi Hear hear.
Quick note, though, Unix-like kernels are typically hybrid; they have both modular and monolithic features. Same for Windows, as I understand it.
The stuff you're looking for gets talked about every now and again on Tek Syndicate-- I'd recommend looking them up.
I just realized that Linus has a mono brow
***** Thanks for the Nightmares...

"How much is your *electric* bill?"
"It must be *shocking* !"
When you own a supercomputer but it cant run crysis: *Crying geometricaly*
I just came from a PS3 video, and I remember it being somewhat market it as a Super Computer. The hype train. The first time ever read about it, it said that it was going to be 8 times more powerful than a PC. It was truly a great subtle marketing strategy, because at the end of the day it gets people really excited, and since they were subtle suggestions it doesn't outrage the public as the years pass by.
I like how you advertised something by saying it will drive up your electric bill.
+Ian Hoswell IKR
I knew it, not even supercomputers can run Crysis.
the hardware actualy can. but because of software it fucks up
Issa joke
Still waiting for a Windows-built supercomputer...
Titan supercomputer: I have over 1000 processors nothing can stop m-
Minecraft shaders: I'll stop you right there.
With RTX enabled
@@lorenzocampolucci4464 if that happened, you wouldnt stop the computer, you would slightly buffer reality, but when you download every single mod and do that, oops my reality crashed, if only I had a anti insert here.
*ANTI INSERT HERE IS NOT ENOUGH, YOU NEED PROTOPROTOGENT*
minecraft shaders are intensive on only the ram and gpu, also minecraft is only a single threaded application
@@irisical8934 r/woooosh
69 hehe
The "Can it run crysis?" killed me
Supercomputer: "Im The God Of Computers"
Electricity Bill: HOLD MY ELECTRONS
And crysis
Reversible logic gates : hold my efficiency
>Powerful Processing Cores
Why did you show a fucking Pentium?
xD
AMD = Pins on Processor
Intel = Pins on Socket
Did Intel chanched something with the Pins exept there are more?
LOL NOOOB pentium sucks
Pentium = Office/Multimedia
Athlon = Beginner gaming
and intel?
2:32 Roll credits!
Ding!
2 years later this is still hilarious lmfao
3 years later this is still hilarious lmfao
I'm going to put a supercomputer in my basement, run the wires through my house, then only play minecraft on low settings.
What if you plug a USB Killer in this computer? RIP☠️
Aaron Qi - *triggers a meltdown*
Simple Answer - no, because they are thousands of maschines and not one single big one.
to big for that
Supercomputer have some kind of Power Surge Protection so a 230v Shock from a USB killer wont do anything its like gettin bitten by a bacteria lol xd
Probably the USB killer gets killed by the supercomputer xD
When you look up the Tesla K20X and find out that the individual part alone is worth more than your whole computer... LMAO
Thank you for such an informative video about supercomputers! Wow; they're such incredible machines.
1980s super computer in size of house had computing power of my smartphone that fits into my pocket.
Isnt that amazing?
Ah man. Supercomputers in 2016=PCs at 2025=mobile phones in 2030
nice one XD
At 2035 quantum computer
Mobiles phones 2030 are going to cost over a million dollars?
nope. I compared them in terms of computing power, not price
yiu yeung Kan i highly doubt that as components used for computers are soon reaching their limits of how small they can become.
"Supercomputers cant run crysis" sounds like a challenge
BUT CAN IT RUN CRYSIS
nope
A MILLION TIMES OVER IF IT HAD WINDOWS BUT IT HAS LINUX ACCORDING TO LINUS
Why does everyone think Linux can't run games? You can run Crysis on Linux.
Windows doesn't support that many CPUs, GPUs, or that much RAM. So still no.
Supercomputers never have Linux interfaces. Only a few supercomputers have an interface with apps.
Seeing how Linus integrates the sponsors and the information always is entertaining
i dont mind ads
i dont mind buffer

Hey Linus, how different is a personal supercomputer to a workstation? Thanks!
"Can it run crysis?"
That's exactly what I was waiting for! xD
Ahh yes, the computer that can actually play cyberpunk
Cray hype.
Lol
6 months and 6 years
About 4 years ago I got the chance to go see Titan. Wasn't allowed to take pictures or anything but was able to physically see the warehouse with rows and rows of fridge sized black steel towers. The assistant explain that it was the fastest only second to the one in China and that Titan was built to solve complicated formulas and scientific math problems.
Hi. I’m watching this in 2020. You made me laugh when you said “go outside”. You’re a funny guy.
3:44 Linus basically describing quarantine 6 years before the quarantine.
Supercomputers - still better value than a Mac.
I'm writing a paper on the current use of supercomputers and this helped me write my conclusion. Thanks Linus!
*****
Took a break due to the ol' writer's block. This video was just food for thought, not really a source.
My favourite video this far! Keep up the good work :)
in the wise words of jeremy clarkson
"MOAR POWA!"
lmao yes
The one dislike is from the guy who wont be running crysis on the titan supercomputer
I so want to see a junkyard war on supercomputers!!! (specifically thinking like using the pallets of classroom computers some university auctions sell)
1:38 i love you linus
If I win the lottery, im going to create my own mini super computer. Ill have 5000+ Fps in games for years!
optimization bruv.. optimizationmm
*****
I agree
AzureStratus
But I dont care for assassins creed games.
what about your electric bill
Steve Kurchy
Well if I win the lottery, the electricity bill would hardly matter.

not funny
Quantum Computers are very interesting, i had to do a presentation for physics in grade 12 and i was so hooked by the subject.
Informative! Thanks :)
But does it blend?
+Joshua Smith (CraftingAeternalis) If you find a blender big enough.
People use linux for supercomputers, I use linux for watching animegirls.
What do you think supercomputers are for? 😉
Why not use windows
Would like an expanded vid of how super computers work. I am now super interested as to the specifics as a result of this :)
When we got our supercomputer it was the fastest in Europe and 6th in the world, but that was 2007. We now replaced it with a 64 GPU cluster as our compute needs haven't increased much but technology caught up to where we're not even in the supercomputer top 500 any more.
You said "Linux based" however what you are referring to as "Linux" is actually the GNU/Linux operating system.
Whatever dude, most people don't care
well ya exactly, most super computers (pretty much all of them actually) run on a version of Linux that as Linus said is highly customized and tailored to that super computer. What actually really makes them all Linux based is that regardless of how customized the OS at its heart and core it is still running on and using the Linux Kernel. Which the kernel in its own right is considered flipping awesome and amazing and rock solid for like ever pretty much. So that equals very very very (almost) zero downtime due to OS related errors and crashes.
HKaftermath Stallman and the rest of the GNU project cares.
AzureStratus i never said it wasn't...
Actually, they're not very GNU. Generally the only OSS in those things are the Linux kernel, OpenMP, and OpenCL.
Do you guys also hear a lot of audio clicks in this video?
+Michael Nielsen (ToneSlaveMusic) Wish I could, but the built in speakers you find in LG laptops are god awful for anything other than volume if you don't have the SRS thing, which my laptop doesn't have.
I just like your videos very much.. great job bro
One place where I worked as a janitor was installing coolers connected to the building's chilled water system.
The Titan is 10 minutes from my house I live just outside of oak ridge national labs both my parents work there but not on the super computer.
@2:33, roll credits.
Wow! So much about Supercomputers!
1:20 sounds like the most cream filled twink I've ever heard in my life.
"Yesssss"
I think linus should grow a beard.....
***** he is the manchild
He can't
He did it
but the question is....
can you run minecraft?
it cant run club penguin
only 4 fps
yes. but not much better than a normal pc tho. it does however make sure mods dont decrease fps. at least i think it does
Were you being serious? ^
IDon'tKnowWhyGoogl s im making a joke out of the joke by actualy responding with the correct information.
that one guy Alright.
"Can it run Crysis" lol. Timing is everything in comedy, good job you made me laugh.
Hi linus! im just wondering about cpus and its lifespan. does cpu chip manufacturers provide details on its cycle's lifespan. given a near perfect conditions.. how long do cpus can operate without failing 1 or few transistors? and do they even fail transistors while in use?
Even if supercomputers ran Windows, those Tesla GPU's are only compute cards, and as far as I know most don't actually work at all for gaming, hell most Tesla cards don't even have a display output. I don't even think these things have IGPU's, so no graphics at all.
tl;dr Definitely No Crysis.
Those Tesla cards are raw GPUs so no
Modifications were added like video output overclocking and fancy RGBs
not even a supercomputer running linux can play games
Levi Lapsley Because it's not supposed to play games.
Spunky Waffle nah. It's because Linux is trash
No, because few games support Linux, and Linux aren't meant for gaming. It's trash for gaming, but gold for other things.
PaddiM8 like servers
Levi Lapsley Yup!
I love the "as fast as possible" reference c:
thank you for explaining flops linus.
but the only reason i shave is so i look pretty when i leave the house to get new shavers
The one thing I want to know that you didn't cover in this is (unless I blanked and missed it) is how do you connect all computers to make a super computer? Is it just connecting over a network via crazy switch sorcery?
I felt like I was just watching SciShow just now. More of this!
Didn't the US Military use something like 1750 PS3s to make a big ass supercomputer? I ain't even trolling.
PS3 was quite special when it was released. A great leap forward.
PS4/Xbone... not so much.
Yep, with a few Xeon racks for coprocessing, it's actually still used as a satellite image rendering machine for the AirForce in Colorado. This all using the "other operating system" as it was allowed before.
locoperson Elf can I ask about your my little pony character? I guessing you are a guy, if that is the case, why the attraction to the series? Just curious as I have seen quite a few young males with the a MLP avatar...
*****
Not outdated, but Sony decided to remove OtherOS from their PS3 in a futile attempt to prevent piracy, and that makes the military cannot replace their PS3s
minecraft2048
really the PS3 cell processor is still pretty good as it is up there with the other IBM cell architures for CPUs just barely anyone who didnt go to a learn IBM CPU programming course didnt know how to program for it thus it was weak compareively to others.
The same kind of CPU is still used now just again in specialized computers and will most likely not run most consumers programs as it is based on a cell architure not a x86 architure which they use totally diffneret methods to run.
Is the title a pun?
For anyone who is interested, Blue Gen is still active as the 5th strongest super computer in the world but will soon be dismantled in order to build a much stronger computer running nvidia tesla gpu and 18-core processors. At the moment it runs arch Linux and the psu will literally explode in a shower of molten aluminum melting through the system. So the computer must be active so try solving every sudoku in the universe. My source for this info is a friend working at argonne
LOL that segue was PRICELESS
0:29 wtf is that cursor doing?
Scanning
If it's measured in flops, where does the NBA rank amongst the world's supercomputers?
Oh 3:05 I used that word "floating point literal" today (an hour ago) in my computer exam lol!
can you please make the screen cap parts less laggy? the mouse cursor going across the screen slowly pisses me off more than it should lol
Warning do not actually shave money
anyone else always click off the video anytime you hear Linus say "Speaking of..."?
Fun fact: The first personal computer to break the Super Computer barrier was the PowerMac G4.
Really? Fun fact Power PC architecture is used in Supercomputers too! Btw I still have my Quicksilver :)
This was a specially interesting and entertaining episode.
Oh right so you can't use these to play video games? How boring... Oh well at least they're used to do weather forecasts and find a cure for cancers....
to pay video games?
Steve Kurchy That is what I said yes.
James Oldfield to pay or to play? you said to pay
Steve Kurchy Shut up, grammar nazi.
James Oldfield I actually don't understand the point of this comment. Like ok? lol
What do they do with these computers anyways? Just have them to claim they have the best computer in the world?
Kyogre Cubing | ikyogre1 nah
they hook em up to super monitors and play gta iv with enb
***** modded skyrim
they probably use it to help with their kids maths homework
+abirneji guess what, there's an app for smartphones that uses it's camera to solve mathematical equations. it's called PhotoMath.
+Technomics Review i read all of the replies, and this is by far the funniest
i love you linus
Some supercomputers can run games, actually. Apparently, at TACC, they sometimes have game nights on their supercomputer Stampede, using their wall covering array of screens.
Supercomputers as *FAST* as possible. Lol
I get recommended this 6 years later.
dude i literally just got linus’s pulseway ad right before this video i’ve you twice in one vid
I am like a old computer border and all that but about a month ago I found out that I have a ibm supercomputer with hipper threading
I do IT at 3M, i've been to the Novec lab, they've got an old formerly watercooled dual CPU Mac G5 fully submerged in the stuff
So nearly spat tea all over the screen at "can it run Crysis?"... lmfao! xD
ey man can not wait for you to make a diy version of a supercomputer maybe from laptops
What did you say: Fold at home? Hmm...need to check it. Speaking about distributed computing - I do it every night. I have a Samsung Power Sleep app that uses my processor to calculate stuff for SIMAP project, while I sleep - this thing acts like an alarm-clock also. And I use BOINC for all of my office computers - nice thing.
Ive seen they cray super computer its in the shape of a c and looks like it has a sofa on it and its so cool!
Nice one at end
Well Explained !
A 2017 version of AlphaGo used custom hardware called a TPU -- Tensor Processing Unit.
Can you explain the diffrence between game cards like GTX 980 and render cards like Tesla's en Quadro???
