Symbian

2008 – Nokia announced they have purchased Symbian outright. They originally owned 46% of the company, and bought out the remaining 54% for $410 million. But then the company turned around and created the Symbian Foundation – a group that would house and give away the software code.

The group and software would remain functioning until 2010. Symbian Foundation then closed, citing that it would change to a legal entity, responsible for licencing software and intellectual property.  The transition completed in 2011.

DNS

1983 – Paul Mockapetris and Jon Postel run the first successful test of the distributed Domain Name System (DNS). This automated process was to take over failing Arpanet and CSnet protocols because those relied on address books.

DNS uses a hierarchical distributed naming system for the Internet or any private network. It associates the domain names with numerical IP addresses.

Kodachrome Film

2009 – Kodak announced they would ended the production of Kodachrome color film. Once the leftover film is distributed, there will be no more made. That lasted until December, 2010.

Kodak created their iconic Kodachrome film in 1935. This is a non-substansive, color reversal film was used in still photos and cinematography. It used the subtractive color method – which required a complex chemical system to make the negative.

Kodachrome was invented by John Capstaff, who worked for a competitor until Eastman bought the company out.

Quantum Computing and HPCAnother scintillating and insightful episode of RFHPC is about Quantum Computing and HPC and how the two spaces are evolving and cooperating.We welcome a a distinguished guest with a most suitable background to talk to us about HPC and Quantum Computing. Mike Booth (https://www.linkedin.com/in/mike-booth-29b8491/),  who’s been in supercomputing since 1979 including stints at Cray through 2000 where he ran the Software and Applications division and was later a GM at StorageTek heading the network storage division. He got into Quantum Computing when he joined D-Wave. He had just accepted to be the CTO of Quantum Computing, Inc. (https://quantumcomputinginc.com/) when we recorded this show.We discuss and touch on how Quantum Computing and HPC interface, analog vs digital, qubits, magnets, resistors, connectors, cryogenics, algorithms, languages, the huge search spaces, NP-complete problems, quadratic unconstrained binary optimization (Qubo), Tabu search, etc. and how they are two different games right now but touching two sides of the big problems that represent grand challenges. Because QC is an accelerator, it fits nicely with how a lot of HPC is being done today.We’re going to have to bring Mike back and we look forward to that.ExaScale at OakridgeMike happens to be in Tennessee, and the episode was recorded when the new ExaScale system at Oakridge was announced so the team. That was quite a significant day for US science, and a second big win for Cray, this time with AMD. It's one of the few large systems that is not based on Intel or Nvidia technologies, and was described as:* 100 Cray Shasta cabinets* 40 MW power* More than 1 million lbs weight* 7,300 square feet* 90 miles of cabling* 5,900 gallons of water per minute for coolingWe don't remember who exactly had a hard stop, but no time for Catch of the Week this week, which some of you would be pleased to hear!Give it a listen (and take good notes!)Download the MP3 (http://radiofreehpc.com/audio/RF-HPC_Episodes/Episode232/RFHPC232_QuantumComputing-HPC.mp3) * Subscribe on iTunes (http://bit.ly/WgEZzd) * RSS Feed (http://bit.ly/QXKy3V)Sign up for our insideHPC Newsletter (http://insidehpc.com/newsletter)(http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/RadioFreeHpcPodcast/~4/au4BIlmNK40)

Manchester Small-Scale Experimental Machine (SSEM)

1948 – What was first expected to be a practical use computer, the SSEM, or Small-Scale Experimental Machine became the first stored-program computer. Basically, it stores program instructions into it’s electronic memory. This 32-bit word length, cathode-ray tube computer was designed to only run subtraction and negation through hardware. Other functions could be run, but only through software.

The first program was run on this day. It was written by Professor Tom Kilbum. The seventeen-instruction stored-program took 52 minutes to run. The program was tasked to find the highest proper factor of 218 (262,144).
