“What is a supercomputer, Alex?”
In the television game show Jeopardy! – where the answers are phrased as questions – contestants are usually the flesh-and-blood kind. This fall, the show will give a silicon-and-metal challenger a chance to compete against humans.
The computer scientists at IBM Blue Gene Research project, which is dedicated to pushing the boundaries in supercomputing, will probably hold their collective breath as a computing system of their design competes on the game show, test-driving several years of intensive work on national television.
