The term "Super Computing" was first used by New York World newspaper in 1929 to refer to large custom-built tabulators that IBM had made for Columbia University.

Supercomputers introduced in the 1960s were designed primarily by Seymour Cray at Control Data Corporation (CDC), and led the market into the 1970s until Cray left to form his own company, Cray Research. He then took over the supercomputer market with his new designs, holding the top spot in supercomputing for five years (1985–1990). Cray, himself, never used the word "supercomputer"; a little-remembered fact is that he only recognized the word "computer". In the 1980s a large number of smaller competitors entered the market, in a parallel to the creation of the minicomputer market a decade earlier, but many of these disappeared in the mid-1990s "supercomputer market crash". Today, supercomputers are typically one-of-a-kind custom designs produced by "traditional" companies such as Cray, IBM and HP, who had purchased many of the 1980s companies to gain their experience.

The term supercomputer itself is rather fluid, and today's supercomputer tends to become tomorrow's ordinary computer. CDC's early machines were simply very fast scalar processors, some ten times the speed of the fastest machines offered by other companies. In the 1970s most supercomputers were dedicated to running a vector processor, and many of the newer players developed their own such processors at a lower price to enter the market. The early and mid-1980s saw machines with a modest number of vector processors working in parallel become the standard. Typical numbers of processors were in the range of four to sixteen. In the later 1980s and 1990s, attention turned from vector processors to massive parallel processing systems with thousands of "ordinary" CPUs, some being off the shelf units and others being custom designs. Today, parallel designs are based on "off the shelf" server-class microprocessors, such as the PowerPC, Opteron, or Xeon, and most modern supercomputers are now highly-tuned computer clusters using commodity processors combined with custom interconnects.

John Cena's WWE Belt can Go! By Foz ]]> truebluefan http://www.mmaforum.com/blog.php?b=192 The King of Kings http://www.mmaforum.com/blog.php?b=191 Tue, 29 Jul 2008 10:15:24 GMT With the explosion left over from affliction banned and Silva vs Irvin, many fighters and fans have entered into a heated debate. Who is the best pound for pound fighter in MMA? The answer used to be undoubtibly Fedor but with the lack of suitable competition and a long hiatus many doubted the significance of what Fedor did in Pride FC.

During that down time Anderson Silva managed to claim the title of the best pound for pound fighter. After the two events two weeks ago though things have been thrown up in the air again. Anderson Silva managed to get a win in his debut at 205 but Fedor has managed to take out some top competition in Tim Silvia.

Now it seems that the MMA community is torn in half. No one can seem to decide on who is the pound for pound champ. Some even throw some other fighters in the mix claiming they are the pound for pound. Instead of ranking them I decided to list the top 4 pound for pound fighters. Though the number 1 spot can be argued for weeks its pretty cut and dry who the top four are. So with out further a due...


BJ Penn


BJ Penn has a record of 13-4-1 but whats astounding isnt his record, its how he has ended those fights. Out of those 13 wins only 3 have gone to decision. BJ has been able to finish 10 of his 13 opponents. Five by way of submision and the other by way of TKO, proving BJ Penn can finish the fight where ever his oponent wants to take it.

His four losses are nothing to scoff at either. BJ has only lost to the best of the best. Matt Hughes the legendary welter weight champion, GSP, the legendary Jens Pulver and Lyoto Machida when BJ attempted to fight at 185 lbs. With a record like that its no wonder many people concider him the pound for pound best fighter in MMA.

BJ is a legend in mixed martial arts and has earned the name "The Prodigy". Holding belts in two weight classes (Welterweight and Light Weight) which is a great feat seeing as the only other person who has managed to pull it off is Randy Coture. With dominant wins over Sean Sherk, Matt Hughes, Jens Pulver and Caol Uno, BJs fight record is a whos who of MMA.


Georges St.Pierre


He comes out to fight like a bat out of hell, with a pace that not many can keep up with Georges St.Pierre has earned himself the name "Rush". He comes out like a shot of adrenaline and dominates his opponent with phenominal take downs and cold calculated ground and pound. A gentlemen outside the ring but a warrior in it.

GSP has a record of 16-2 its amazing that this young fighter has been able to climb the ranks as quickly as he has and dominate so many big name fighters. His two losses have come to the legendary Matt Hughes and the UFC veteran Matt Serra.

With the best functional wrestling in MMA today GSP has managed to dominate the WW division. Knocking potential contenders out of the picture before he event claimed the title. He has two dominating wins over Matt Hughes as well as octagon greats such as, Josh Koscheck, BJ Penn, Sean Sherk, Frank Trigg, Mayhem Miller and Karo Parysian.

There is no question that GSP is one of the best fighters in the history of MMA. With a fully balanced skillset their arent many people who can fight in the same category as him let alone dethrown him from his welterweight title.


Anderson Silva


Anderson Silva is one of the most dominating Middle weights in the history of mma. He has a record of 22-4. Anderson has completely dominated the middle weight division of the UFC. His dominance is so firm that the UFC is constantly strugeling to find him competition.

He managed to not only dethrown Rich Franklin, who many thought was the best Middle weight champion in UFC history but he did it twice. He has also managed to destroy fan favorite Chris Leben and submit former pride champion Dan Henderson. He has also recently fought against James Irvin and managed to beat him in one minutes time.

The Spyder has some of the best technical striking in MMA but also has a black belt in BJJ from Antonio Rodrigo Noguera. The Champ is a fully rounded fighter that can submit veteran grapplers just as well as he can knock out any one who crosses his path.


Fedor Emelienenko


One of the most mysterious fighters in MMA, he goes by many names. "The Last Emperor","The Almighty", "The King of Kings" but most know him as Emelianenko Fedor. This native of Russia has steped into the world of mixed martial arts and dominated it like no other.
He boasts a shocking record of 28-1-1.

He has sat atop the Heavy weight mixed martial arts rankings for years now. One of the only men that has beaten Tim Sylvia and he managed to do it in 30 secounds. This is a feat that took Randy Couture 5 long rounds to accomplish. Where many men would cower in fear it seems that Fedor prefers to fight giants. He has not only defeated Tim Sylvia but also Hong Man Choi and one of K1's best fighters Semi Schilts.

Aside from Semi he has also beat a number of K1 greats such as Mirko Cro Cop and Mark Hunt. He also has impressive wins over some of the best heavyweights in the world such as Mark Coleman, Kevin Randlemen, Antonio Rodrigo Noguera, gary Goodridge and Heath Hearing.

There isnt many fighters beat Fedor, hell only one man has managed to boast a win over Fedor and it was a controversial one at that. Many people concider Fedort to still be undefeated.

With each one of these fighters in the top 4 its not hard to see why so many people are having trouble placing them in order. Especially since these fighters all share some similarities. All of the fighters mentioned above posses top tier striking and have world calibur grappeling ability. They are fully rounded individuals that can take the fight to what ever battle ground you wish to drag them in.

These guys are truly the best of the best in MMA. So some may ask how would I rank them up. Every one will have a different opinion but as far as mine goes right or wrong here it is:

4. BJ Penn: although he is definately in the top 4 BJ Penn has lost to GSP when he fought in the WW Division in a close match. His grappeling is world calibur as is his boxing skills but I do beleive that fedor and anderson silvas striking is superior to Bj,s.

3. GSP: Although he is one of the greats GSP has shown his achilies heal more then once. Although now he is focused with the aid of a sports psychologist which he keeps on staff, GSP has proven that he suffers from performance anxiety. Two times he has fallen to the pressure. The first being his match up with Matt Hughes and the secound when he encountered Matt Serra.

GSP is still a young fighter and has a ways to go but he has not yet successfully defended his title. Perhaps he will climb up in my rankings if he can get a few title defenses out of the way. Also he does have the best functional wrestling in mma but his stand up hasnt been tested by a dominant striker as of yet.

BJ gave him a run for his money when they first clashed but thats about it. Perhaps we will be able to see how good his stand up is if he gets the oppertunity to face off against Thiago Alves or BJ Penn again in December. Now dont get me wrong Im not saying his striking is lacking, I would just like to see where it stands against a top tier striker.

2. Anderson Silva: Anderson Silva is by far one of the best strikers in MMA. His strriking is spectacular. He is a BJJ black belt and posses excelent grappeling skills. How ever what Anderson Silva lacks is the ability to mesh these skills togehter.

GSP, Fedor and BJ have all been able to mesh their grappeling and striking together to form one complete style for themeselves. Anderson Silva how ever seems to be two different fighters possesing two different skill sets. If your standing with him he will show you the best muay thai in mma. If your on the ground he will show you some BJJ. He how ever doesnt mesh the two styles and cant switch from one to the other fluidly.

Because of this I cant rank him as number 1 because all of the others on the list have been able to do this and it has made them much better fighters. what it does mean how ever is that Anderson Silva still has a lot of room to grow. If he could compine his two skill sets he would be unstopable but then again many say he already is.

1. Fedor: In my opinion their is no doubt that he is the King of the pound for pound rankings. he has world calibur striking and the ability to dominate K1 according to Mark Hunt. He has world calibur grappeling and is a world champion heavy weight sambo practitioner. He like Anderson has two completely different skillsets and has combined them together to form something amazing.

He has meshed his grappeling with his striking in a way that it is an art. With what many say the best ground and pound in the game he has made women in attendance cry as he mutilated Antonio Rodrigo Noguera. he is truly one of the greatest fighters around and the pound for pound champ in MMA. ]]> mrmyz http://www.mmaforum.com/blog.php?b=191 Affliction Banned A huge success http://www.mmaforum.com/blog.php?b=190 Mon, 28 Jul 2008 08:49:36 GMT Any one who saw it would agree that this event was a crowd pleaser. There was a back story to each fight and it turned into something memorable. The only downside of the night being that Alekzander Emelienenko was not able to participate. It was quickly corrected by yet another big name heavy weight gary goodridge. The middle weight fights were pretty interesting. Matt Lindland managed to win a decision. Vitor Belfort got his come back under way when he beat Terry Martin. The secound round KO sent shivers up my spine. We saw a new Vitor in the ring that night. He fought more of a boxer style then the flasher type boxing that he used before and it worked out to his advantage. Andre Arlovski stopped Ben Rothwell in his tracks with a devastting KO win. Arlovski sent a message to the mma community that the pitbull was back. The win was so impressive that affliction has decided to put him up against Fedor in their upcoming event int October. Josh Barnete also got an amazing KO over Pedro Rizzo. The main event was a classic display. Fedor silenced all the nay sayers in 30 secounds. Fedor managed to beat Tim Sylvia who many couldnt put away in a mere 30 secounds. Thats something not even Randy Couture was able to do. It took him 5 grueling rounds to put away the former UFC champion. Even Noguera had a hard time and nearly lost to Tim Sylvia. Their is no doubt in my mind that Fedor reighns over the Heavy weight divisions as the most dominant heavy weight in the world. With his world calibur striking and his vicious submitions and ground and pound there is no way any one will be able to stop him any time soon. With that said the affliction event was a huge success. Afflicion has already announced their next card in October. The main event already booked is Fedor vs Andre Arlovski. This is going to be a huge fight and I cant wait to see it. Rumours suggest that Matt Lindland and Vitor Belfort might square off. That would make for a great middle weight bout. Word is also that Renato Babalu Sobral and Tito Ortiz might also face off in a LHW battle. If Affliction can make the Bablu vs Tito and Lindland vs Belfort fights happen we will have yet another stacked event coming from the affliction camp. We will have to wait and see how the card progresses but their is no doubt that it will be another stacked event. Any one who saw it would agree that this event was a crowd pleaser.

For instance i could be a bit more powerful, i need to get a bit stronger and then i can move my opponent around better and make take downs easier. The skill & knowledge i feel is there though which is why im now focusing 100% on my Mauy Thai.

Im working on bringing my stand up to the level of my BJJ and at the same time doing alot more work with weights and muscle building and when i go back to working on BJJ i expect to me a much differant person at least thats my plan. So far so good though, i have gained 5 pounds with a goal of 10 more and doing all this while working on my Mauy Thai. Im doing alot of personal lessons right now. The 1 on 1 training helps alot and really allows me to soak up the knowlege im being taught. ]]> Steve-d http://www.mmaforum.com/blog.php?b=188 daiquiri, fake tan, ankle wrap variations http://www.mmaforum.com/blog.php?b=187 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 02:12:51 GMT today was a landmark day as I drank the first (and second) daiquiri I had since my second daughter was born and she's almost 10. they were alcohol-y and delightful. now i am about to fake tan (from the tube, the beds give u cancer everybody knows that mang) because my ankle brace always rubs it off so it's not even!!!!

Which brings me to the second part of this blog entry, which is that I saw all manner of ankle support variations watching ufc unleashed the other night, ie the ordinary light-support neoprene braces a lot of fighters wear, to ankles that were completely taped up, to Ken Shamrock taping ONLY his ankles and nothing below, like tape ankle bracelets. I couldn't figure that out at all. I would make a thread about this but I wouldn't know whether to post it in the general mma discussion thread or the training and nutrition thread.

Also, would it be wrong to say that Frankie Edgar's striking is as amazing as his scramble? ]]> swpthleg http://www.mmaforum.com/blog.php?b=187 Super Saturday http://www.mmaforum.com/blog.php?b=186 Fri, 18 Jul 2008 16:29:14 GMT With all of the action thats going to take place tomorrow night the only thing you can call Saturday July 19 is "Super Saturday". All of us MMA fans have a lot to look forward to. Not only do we get a spectacular event with Affliction Banned but we are also getting a UFC fight night as well.

With the UFC fight night we get to see the TUF fight that a lot of fans were dieing to see. CB Dollaway and Jesse Taylor. These two guys made a name for themselves in the last TUF season and will no doubt put out a good performance. Anthony Johnson who always puts out exciting fights with his brawler type fighting will also be fighting tonight.

We also get to see Brandon Vera and Anderson Silva both test the waters of the LHW division. Vera dropping down from HW and Anderson jumping up to LHW. A lot of people expected Vera to be the next big thing but with back to back losses to Tim Sylvia and Fabrico Werdum. Vera is looking for a fresh start after those loses and he might be able to get some momentum going by fighting in the LHW division.

Anderson Silva might have his hands full because hes taking on Irvin who is coming off of a dominating KO. Its a great opportunity for both of these guys to make a name for themselves in the LHW division. If Anderson wins he after his next two title defenses he might start working towards LHW title contention. Irvin who is a LHW will definately move up the food chain if he beats Anderson Silva. If he can win he will be on the brink of contendership.

One of the sleeper fights of the night that hasnt been getting that much attention has the potential to be one of the more exciting fights. Hermes Franca a UFC veteran is going to go up against Frank Edgar. Both guys are coming off of losses to wrestler type guys and they both have similar skillsets. Its going to be pretty interesting to see how these guys match up against each other.

All in all the UFC card has some good fights scheduled. A lot of interesting possibilities will open up based on who wins and who losses. Unfortunately this card is going to be completely over shadowed by one of the greatest cards to come out in a long time. Affliction Banned.

The Banned Card just has so much going on. Almost every fight on the card has the ability to be a main event fight. Where the Fight Night has Anderson, Irving and a handful of other names the Banned card is coming out like an all you can eat buffet of mixed martial arts. Fedor and Tim Silvia being the main course.

A lot is riding on the Affliction Banned Card. Fedors reputation, Vitor Belforts Career, Matt Lindlands return and the promotion itself is in doubt whether it can compete with the big dogs. Its a very volatile situation to say the least. The card has the potential to make or break careers.

Super Saturday is going to be an epic event for MMA Fans. I for one am not missing one secound of action. With my DVR set up to record the UFC fight night and all the action going on I will be immersed in the action. I have already informed my freinds, family and loved ones that this weekend I will be no where to be found. Saturday I will be watching hours full of mma action and Sunday I will be re watching it.

Right now its a great time to be an MMA fan. I remember the days when I would stay up till 3 in the morning waiting for the pride fc events to get posted up on the internet so I could see what happened and watch the event. Now we have so much access and so many events going on that we are no longer deprived of our addiction. Thanks to the UFC and other organizations like Elite XC and Affliction. ]]> mrmyz http://www.mmaforum.com/blog.php?b=186 Blogs up to July 17 http://www.mmaforum.com/blog.php?b=185 Fri, 18 Jul 2008 13:49:01 GMT 2009 NBA Draft - Mock Draft! - Lottery And More....... by lanigan34

I am forced to listen to AM/FM on my unordinarily long commute here in Atlanta. The AM stations here are very weak and seem to lose signal at night. So, I listen to the rock station and it certainly is not the only one that just sucks. With bands like Coldplay, System of A Down, Fallout Boy, Blink 182, 3 doors Down, Nickelback, My Chemical Romance, Maroon 5, and many others leading the pack; I just don't like where rock'n'roll has gone and can't imagine where it is headed.

I grew up and began to appreciated the older stuff my parents listened to a lot more. (Zeppelin, Allman Brothers, The Police, Feetwood Mac, and many others that I listened too when I was young) But this isn't a phase of mine personally, this really is a crisis of talentless musicians not writing their own stuff and just performing other people's songs to make a living.

It truly has become a sad world when our musicians are too lazy to do their own work. ]]> ZZtigerZZ81 http://www.mmaforum.com/blog.php?b=183 Affliction rolls the dice http://www.mmaforum.com/blog.php?b=182 Tue, 15 Jul 2008 18:22:20 GMT Affliction is taking a few big risks this weekend. First of all they have paid their fighters extremely large guarantees. If the UFC card (which they should have expected) draws enough viewers away. They could lose money. So even if the fights are great, the PPV could be called a failure.

The second problem is that they have put all their eggs in the Fedor basket. The problem with that is that no one knows how good Fedor is. Now before all the PRIDE fanboys jump on me, we know that in 2006 the only way to beat Fedor was with a stick while he was asleep. He was the best in the world, and possibly the best ever. However two years has past without Fedor fighting anyone of consequence. The fight game is a funny thing. What skills made a fighter unstoppable at one point may not be effective if they are 1/2 second slower. Also there are some rumors of Fedor being injured, which could hamper his effectiveness.

If Fedor does lose, Affliction loses any chances at Randy Couture. Why would he want to fight someone who lost to Sylvia, a man he dominated. Sylvia Couture II won't be appealing to Randy. Randy could then want NOG or simply retire. There is the possibility that there could be a rematch. However this time around Affliction would find themselves in a bidding war for Tim Sylvia with the UFC. The UFC might appeal to Sylvia, because he would be next in line after a win over Fedor to take NOG (sorry Frank Mir, but you're not going to win).

This might be all for nothing. IF they roll a 7 with Fedor, and he destroys Sylvia, then they get Randy. Also if they are able to break even on the PPV, Couture vs Fedor could be the highest selling PPV of the year. In business, you have to take risks. You got to give it to Affliction they got balls. We'll just see what happens. ]]> rockybalboa25 http://www.mmaforum.com/blog.php?b=182
