Die Gesamtverarbeitungsleistung der Konstellation wird 1.000 POP (1 Exaflops) erreichen und mit den besten Supercomputern von heute mithalten. Die 100-Gbit / s-Laserverbindungen und 30 TB pro Satellitenspeicher sind jedoch eingeschränkter als die Hochgeschwindigkeits-Verbindungen und die größeren Kapazitäten der basierten Systeme.
OK, aber warum sollten Sie all die Mühe von mehr als 200 Raketenstarts machen, um etwas in den Weltraum zu bringen, das Sie auf dem Boden besser aufbauen können?

China has launched the first 12 satellites of a planned 2,800-satellite space-based distributed supercomputer – but do the plans behind it make any sense?

This makes 2nd major technology they stole from Elon Musk
> Jonathan McDowell, a space historian and astronomer at Harvard University, told the outlet, “Orbital data centres can use solar power and radiate their heat to space, reducing the energy needs and carbon footprint.” He said both the US and Europe could carry out similar projects in the future, writes SCMP.
That’s why they’d do it in space instead of on the ground. It’s literally in the article you’re linking.
If it doesn’t make sense, then there’s something either not true or not being disclosed. So it’s either a lie or for a specific purpose that they haven’t mentioned. There’s a huge amount of money being spent for this, so it’s definitely for something important. It’s either spy stuff or misinformation.
As someone with over 15 years working in IT, I can’t possibly see how this could go wrong
„huh. Did you count 205 rocket launches when they only list 200? weird.“
That’s why.
Hrmm i would guess there maybe some problems that require more precise real time computing based on satellite data.
maybe things like remote aircraft/rocket launches? or more precise space navigation? kind of like how some missles do some compute power on board.
From cloud computing to space computing, def going to be used for some form of control. I can’t even foresee what’s possible
They should focus on making an ultra-affordable starlink copycat, and i’ll gladly join the great firewall in order to dump these overpriced tele companies.
This would be safe from nuclear war I guess. Only reason I can think of to build it.
Distributed + in space = harder for enemies to destroy.
If America was doing this we’d all be applauding.
Armchair geopolitics love to astroturf.
„OK, but why go to all the trouble of 200+ rocket launches to put something in space you could build better on the ground?“
You can’t spy as effectively from the ground. Furthermore, those satellites will also link up with their offensive and defensive weapon arrays for AI controlled ICBMs, combat drones, lasers and lots of other perefranilia that’s still classified.
The bottom line is those are not for „gaming and emergency response.“
They’re weapons.
Hopefully these servers are secured assets. It would be a shame if an adversary were to take over these „satellite farms“ when you physically can’t reach them. *Deepseek enters chat*
