Supercomputer predicts Total financial collapse by May 15

[Ares]

If you got an extra $1000 for the member fee plus another $20k for an nvidia based CUDA personal supercomputer you can join an elite financial forecasting group.

Eleks.com provides the base software and their predictive tools are top notch. A cloud array of 10,000 CUDA desktops has more computational power than the U.S. Weather Service.

While the findings of their quarterly report are kept very secret, a few details have crept out of the latest report. The report was redone in light of the Japan situation and the Mid-east meltdown.

Sudden and unexpected drop in home prices
steep decline in commercial real estate values
Major stock market correction ending up near 5000 on the DOW
Oil would yo-yo from $150 down $50, extreme market oscillation due to speculation
critical financial problems in China, over inflated growth and savings figures
6 countries in Europe would fall in to financial default
USD would climb in short term but take a massive decline by August
30% of all Insurance companies are insolvent
Official US unemployment of 12.75%, actual 19.6%
Real inflation of 13.7% this year, excluding fuel

The group no longer recommends paper investments. They are heavy on Tier 1 Defence and applied logistical supply management contractors. To translate they only invest in companies with guaranteed gold plated contracts with large Governments. These are USG emergency contingency contracts. Such as companies who are in contract to supply emergency supplies of Pharmaceutics, Anti-viral, and radiation treatments. These preferred Government contractors make a profit no matter what happens. It is a guarantee by Law. Every private enterprise the group recommends is in the essential services and products category. Their list is like a War time survival list of essential companies. The group has no recommendations on precious metals or commodities. They are buying into the Military-industrial-energy complex and putting all their cash with those who have the guns and means to protect hard assets.

LOL... I thought about that and figured that maybe they were factoring in a Euro/Asian play to shut things down in the futures market before we even wake up in Amerika.

But- I agree.... it is a bit silly to pick a Sunday.

This does show the dire condition we are in. The computers, however, play by rules; our government does not.

Wait, once again a total opposite race portraying another in the opposite side of the color spectrum...erm, i don't know man...although Murphy can pull off funny foolish stunts. Yeah good call after all Mamboni, perfect ;D

there's superskunk and there's superskunk.

i haven't set a price on my super-skunk. i'm keeping the part with the scent gland for security lab R&D.

but you can have the choice of tail, back legs, front legs, head, or a piece of torso.

the chickens get the rest.

though i wouldn't mind trading some superskunk for one of Silver Art's silver bars.

i wonder what the exchange ratio is in terms of toilet paper.

this is what we'll have to deal with as the dollar crashes, figuring out a whole new set of exchange rates. ;D

[sirgonzo420]

And we'll compost people poop for our gardens!

;D

The markets will be open in Tokyo, Aussie, and China while it is still the 15th here. ;)

If things tumble early, head to the store? :dunno

I wonder if it has something to do with the U.S. reaching it's debt limit. Which is supposed to happen Monday. (The 15th in Asian markets)

it's still in - what's that call it when it's really cold ? - oh yeah. the freezer.

i've been very busy, so i haven't had a chance to butcher it.

i think i will just use it as a source of fly larvae for my chickens.

unless it gets overwhelmingly gross, in which case i will bury it or compost it.





And we'll compost people poop for our gardens!

;D


music to my ears.

redworms LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE people poop. i think.

[Neuro]

Hmmm, were the supercomputers predicting the arrest of Dominique Strauss-Khan?

Anyway is it safe to come out of the bunker now?

[vacuum]

And the supercomputer might not be wrong either. Perhaps, given the relevant parameters which it had, the collapse should have occurred yesterday. That means that whatever is currently propping things up has reached a new level of precariousness and instability.

You are correct

Just what is a "fiancial collapse" in a fake money system?

last time i played monopoly with my brother's kids, my nephew stole $20 million from the bank.

then afterwards, he confessed.

so i gave him a copy of Ocean's Eleven (12, and 13) for his birthday.


too bad Greenspan doesn't confess.

May 15th? Oh crap, I'm too late to prepare!

Super computer or not, it still comes down to "garbage in, garbage out"

Yes... and they need one that can use fuzzy logic with rule-breaking code built in. Just because we are insolvent doesn't mean we have to admit it and shut everything down. We can keep playing until war breaks out all over and then blame the enemy for the crash.

If they put in true data, the screen would read

Human Race Status: EXTINCT

[Spectrism]

If they put in true data, the screen would read

Human Race Status: EXTINCT


But they need to include emotional and propaganda effects. So then the computer would read:
Human Race Status: EXTINCT but they are happily thinking they still live

[gunDriller]

i don't think we needed a supercomputer to tell us, BUT - it was about right, wasn't it ?

within a few months or years.

I'd like to comment about this thread entitled Supercomputer predicts Total financial collapse by May 15

My name is Phil Parker and I'm the Director of Global Marketing for ELEKS Software (http://www.eleks.com). It is true that ELEKS does develop custom CUDA-accelerated applications for advance simulations. I'm not sure I would put much merit into this rumor stated above considering that ELEKS does not offer off the shelf CUDA software for this particular simulations. For info on our CUDA efforts, (click here to view ELEKS' CUDA Development page (http://www.eleks.com/en/software_cuda_development)). And I wouldn't take this as very factual considering that the customers we have do not allow us to mention their names and they are keeping quite as to what they do with these CUDA systems. I would also like to add that the writer says that we have developed a cloud array of 10,000 CUDA desktops that have more than the processing power of the U.S. Weather Service. This is partially correct, but I'll expand on this below.

ELEKS Software, based Henderson, NV (low state tax rate), has close to 500 very bright developers performing world class software development projects - most of which are based in our development center in Lviv, Ukraine (a 750 year old UNESCO World Heritage site).

Most of our work in the CUDA arena has been to move calculation intensive work off of CPU based system over to run on much more efficient low cost CUDA enabled Personal SuperComputers - often called High Performance Computing (HPC) systems. For this system mentioned above, very advanced simulations were once done with data sets that had to be reduce in size to allow for calculations to be performed once per evening. This was as good as it got - until recently.

By using the ELEKS developed CUDA accelerated application, larger, more complex data sets can be used with Monte Carlo simulations (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monte_Carlo_method) for improved accuracy. Instead of results being calculated once per night, results are now obtained in minutes.

So why don't you not hear more about ELEKS? Because they know they have a silver bullet as part of their arsenal - and you don't.

Now - if I may, I'd like to share what makes this possible - if nothing more than to educate each of you about the state of the art in CUDA development.

Many of today's most powerful corporate systems have multi-core CPU processors from Intel powering them - lots of them to be exact. They tend to run very hot and require a lot of power and cooling capabilities. They are not very environmentally friendly systems. These CPUs are now equipped with 2 to as many as 8 core processors per CPU. They tend to run multi-tasking programs very well. They are however, not well suited for raw numbers crunching like that required for mathematically intensive 3d graphics. Graphics Processor Units ( GPUs) on the other hand are very good at number crouching. Today's GPU processors have has many as 448 internal core processors per GPU PC cards have multiple GPUs per PC card for true Massively Parallel Processing.

A few years ago, Nvidia decided that there was a market that could use this processing power. To expand the market for this processing potential, Nvidia create CUDA - an advanced programming language that would allow developers to harness all of these core processors to do more than just graphics.

In this thread, it was noted that ELEKS used 10,000 CUDA desktops. This was overstated. The fact is that it does not take lots of desktops, but rather, the power is in the number of total GPU cores. A typical system could consist of 35 rack mounted blade servers. Each server consists of 2 GPUs, with each GPU containing 448 cores. The rack would include 8 CPU cores to manage where data will be calculated. This is literally a total of 31,640 cores processors.

Should additional processing power be needed, additional CUDA-enabled GPU cards or servers equipped with GPU cards can be added to the system for a scalable Personal Supercomputing system. These system drastically reduce the cost for complex computing, while at the same time, slashing the cost for power and cooling as compared to a traditional high end computing environment.

I hope that clarifies what ELEKS involvement was, what this system did and what it didn't do. I assure you that one of these systems did not attempt to predict the total collapse of the financial system on May 15 and fail. I can not however, be more specific with what our customers are doing with these systems.
