Agence France-Presse: Developing countries may need as much as $250-500 billion (203-406 billion euros) per year by mid-century to deal with the fallout from climate change, a UN report warned Friday. The projected amount was as much as five times higher than previous estimates and significantly more than today's spending on climate adaptation, said the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP), which warned of a "significant funding gap after 2020". "The impacts of climate change are already beginning to be...

US intel agency is developing a superconducting exascale computer and cryogenic memory
2014-12-04 15:14:56| Extremetech
The secretive R&D wing of the US government's intelligence efforts, IARPA, has announced a program to build a superconducting computer. IARPA will be working with IBM, Raytheon, and Northrop Grumman to develop this superconducting computer, but the exact financial details of the deal are not available. Ultimately, the purpose of the program is to build an exascale supercomputer -- a computer that is capable of at least 1,000 petaflops (1 exaflop), or about 40 times faster than the world's existing supercomputers.
