The US Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) has unveiled a new $20 million supercomputer designed to tackle some of the military’s most computationally demanding challenges, from hypersonic weapons research to artificial intelligence development and next-generation aircraft design.
Known as Flyer, the machine was recently commissioned at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio. According to AFRL officials, the system can solve in a single day problems that would take an average laptop roughly 500 years to complete.

The 500 years metric appears to come from the 186,000 cores.
365 x 500 = 182,500

Lol what a misleading title. It hasnt “ solved 500 years of work“ and its only 500 times faster when they compare it to an average laptop. That isnt to say that it isnt a powerful supercomputer, but thats just a bad title.

Great. How about trying to solve how to prevent the need for more weapons.

I’m so fucking exhausted of exaggerations. Every single title may as well be, “look kids, we did sci-fi like in the movies!”. No you didn’t.

Did you guys see what that Chinese super computer did? Something in the trillions of years.

Oh cool we can stop using computers for the next 500 years
