Computer science has evolved from an elective experience to a foundational element of K-12 education for many American students in less than a generation. But decisions about how and when students ...

In June 2011, Japan’s K computer became the world’s fastest supercomputer, achieving a speed of over 8 petaflops — or 8 quadrillion (8 million billion) operations a second. In November the same year, ...

K-12 computer science is essential, not just for students who may pursue computer science or STEM fields in college or the workforce. Computer science principles give students critical computational ...

On November 16, the K computer took first place in the HPCG benchmark, a new index developed to create a more realistic view of supercomputer performance compared to the commonly used LINPACK ...

Based on complex simulations of quantum chromodynamics performed using the K computer, one of the most powerful computers in the world, scientists have predicted a new type of 'dibaryon' -- a particle ...
