In the 1930s, some people expected humans would haveaccomplished intergalactic travel by the year 2006. While that was not the case, it isexpected that by 2035 it will be possible for astronauts to travel extremely far distances tovisit other planets without aging.If teleportation has not yet been accomplished at this point, humans will enter into a stateof hibernation for long journeys. The body's metabolism will be slowed to prevent agingon trips that last several decades. The astronauts or travelers will sleep the entire trip
- while being connected to drips that will provide them with nutrients and vitaminsnecessary to live.2045 or Beyond - The SingularityThe Singularity is a phrase that describes a time atwhich the simultaneous acceleration ofnanotechnology, robotics and genetics change ourenvironment beyond the ability of humans tocomprehend or predict. At this point, new realitieswill prevail and there will be a new norm.Scientists, including National Technology Medalwinner Ray Kurzweil (author of "The Singularityis Near") say economic, social and politicalstructures will completely change - possiblyovernight. Vernor Vinge, a scientist and teacher,says The Singularity could arrive as instantly asan earthquake and completely change all terrain aswe know it."When greater-than-human intelligence drivesprogress," Vinge writes, "that progress will bemuch more rapid." This accelerating loop of self-improving intelligence could cause a large jump in progress in a very brief period of time- this is being called a "hard takeoff" by people interested in this theory of development.Kurzweil sees a more gradual acceleration - a "soft takeoff" - one in which humans workto also extend their intellectual capacity to keep up with artificially intelligent entities.Still, he predicts that The Singularity could come as soon as 2045.The Singularity presents the idea that biological life may eventually be replaced by self-engineering, self-replicating intelligences. Some people posit the extreme, "grey goo"scenario, in which nanotechnology - not the sleek, humanoid robots seen in popular films,but a mass of gunk - displaces humans. Some researchers say that matter could beengineered to embody vast computational capacities - that entire planets or stars may beconverted to what is sometimes called "computronium," a form of matter that is anintelligence.2040 to 2045 - Space Elevator/Moon BasePlanning has already begun for a carbon nanotube cable to run from one or more floatingocean platforms to one or more satellites, connecting Earth to space. Cargo andpassengers will be sent up and down the cable as on a really, really tall elevator. Theorbiting station to which each cable connects can be used as a launching area for furtherspace exploration, a space-based observation post and a facility for accomplishing

JUNE 2018
The TOP500 celebrates its 25th anniversary with a major shakeup at the top of the list. For the first time since November 2012, the US claims the most powerful supercomputer in the world, leading a significant turnover in which four of the five top systems were either new or substantially upgraded.
Summit, an IBM-built supercomputer now running at the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), captured the number one spot with a performance of 122.3 petaflops on High Performance Linpack (HPL), the benchmark used to rank the TOP500 list. Summit has 4,356 nodes, each one equipped with two 22-core Power9 CPUs, and six NVIDIA Tesla V100 GPUs. The nodes are linked together with a Mellanox dual-rail EDR InfiniBand network.
Sunway TaihuLight, a system developed by China’s National Research Center of Parallel Computer Engineering & Technology (NRCPC) and installed at the National Supercomputing Center in Wuxi, drops to number two after leading the list for the past two years. Its HPL mark of 93 petaflops has remained unchanged since it came online in June 2016.
Sierra, a new system at the DOE’s Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory took the number three spot, delivering 71.6 petaflops on HPL. Built by IBM, Sierra’s architecture is quite similar to that of Summit, with each of its 4,320 nodes powered by two Power9 CPUs plus four NVIDIA Tesla V100 GPUs and using the same Mellanox EDR InfiniBand as the system interconnect.
Tianhe-2A, also known as Milky Way-2A, moved down two notches into the number four spot, despite receiving a major upgrade that replaced its five-year-old Xeon Phi accelerators with custom-built Matrix-2000 coprocessors. The new hardware increased the system’s HPL performance from 33.9 petaflops to 61.4 petaflops, while bumping up its power consumption by less than four percent. Tianhe-2A was developed by China’s National University of Defense Technology (NUDT) and is installed at the National Supercomputer Center in Guangzhou, China.
The new AI Bridging Cloud Infrastructure (ABCI) is the fifth-ranked system on the list, with an HPL mark of 19.9 petaflops. The Fujitsu-built supercomputer is powered by 20-core Xeon Gold processors along with NVIDIA Tesla V100 GPUs. It’s installed in Japan at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST).
Piz Daint (19.6 petaflops), Titan (17.6 petaflops), Sequoia (17.2 petaflops), Trinity (14.1 petaflops), and Cori (14.0 petaflops) move down to the number six through 10 spots, respectively.
