DESCRIPTION: Ohne dass es die meisten Menschen wissen, leben wir im Petascale-Zeitalter. So wie Autos an PS-Zahlen gemessen werden, verraten die digitalen Monster ihre Leistungsfähigkeit mit der Vorsilbe 'Peta' für die Zahl 10 hoch 15, was nichts anderes ist als eine Billiarde. Die größten Rechenzentren der Welt simulieren das Wetter, Crashtests, Solarstürme mit Supercomputern, die einige Petaflops schnell rechnen können. Konrad Zuses Z1 berechnete 1937 ungefähr eine 'Fließkommaoperation' pro Sekunde. Jetzt gehen die großen IT-Forschungszentren langsam auf Exascale zu: 10 hoch 18 Fließkommarechnungen pro Sekunde (Flops). Damit werden Simulationen neuer Art möglich, viel höhere Genauigkeit bei Klimamodellen etwa. Vor allem aber reizt Hirnforscher das neue Supercomputing.

Radio drama, old-time radio and historic broadcasts from the Internet Archive (its Old Time Radio collection with the Old Time Radio Researchers' sets, WWII Era Audio Recordings, the Pacifica Radio Archives, the Radio Haiti Archive, German radio plays and listeners' uploads), Wikimedia Commons (with the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision's broadcasts) and the Library of Congress. Every episode plays from its archive, which this site does not copy; rights are as each archive states them. Nothing here is called public domain on this site's say-so. In the United States, sound recordings first fixed before 15 February 1972 have federal protection under the Music Modernization Act of 2018, for most until 2067 at the latest, so most American radio of the 1930s to the 1950s is not in the public domain there. Each set shows the licence, mark or statement its archive gives, and says whose it is. Horror, crime, war and westerns are for teenage and adult profiles, racist caricature for adults only, and children’s profiles hear what was made for children. More about these archives.
