As GPUs advance in both performance and energy efficiency, accelerated systems have become the new standard for high performance computing (HPC) and a critical ingredient in the pursuit of exascale computing. That's why the U.S. Department of Energy is building two GPU-accelerated supercomputers -

as part of the CORAL - that will move the world closer to exascale

Though he served as a diplomat in the government of Czechoslovakia, Korbel's politics and

Judaism forced him to flee with his wife and baby Madeleine after the Nazi invasion in 1939

and move to London. Korbel served as an advisor to Edvard Beneš, in the Czech

government in exile

Mika Emilie Father Zbigniew Kazimierz "Zbig" Brzezinski (cont.)

advised Carter in 1978 to engage the People's Republic of China

and traveled to Beijing to lay the groundwork for the normalization

of relations between the two countries. This also resulted in the

severing of ties with the United States' longtime anti-Communis

ally the Republic of China

traveled to Beijing to lay the groundwork for normalizing

U.S.–PRC relations cultivating a relationship with Deng Xiaoping,

for which he is thought very highly of in mainland China to this day

maintained his own personal relationship with Soviet Ambassador

to the United States Anatoly Dobrynin

had NSC staffers monitor State Department cable traffic through

the Situation Room and call back to the State Department if the

President preferred to revise or take issue with outgoing State

Department instructions. He also appointed his own press

spokesman, and his frequent press briefings and appearances on

television interview shows made him a prominent public figure,

although perhaps not nearly as much as Kissinger had been under

Nixon

1979 saw two major strategically important events: the overthrow

of U.S. ally the Shah of Iran, and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan

The Iranian Revolution precipitated the Iran hostage crisis, which

would last for the rest of Carter's presidency. Brzezinski

anticipated the Soviet invasion, and, with the support of Saudi

Arabia, Pakistan, and the People's Republic of China, he created

a strategy to undermine the Soviet presence. Using this

atmosphere of insecurity, Brzezinski led the United States toward

a new arms buildup and the development of the Rapid Deployment

Forces—policies that are both more generally associated with

Reagan's presidency now

November 9, 1979, Brzezinski was woken at 3 am by a phone call

with a startling message: The Soviets had just launched 250

nuclear weapons at the United States. Minutes later, Brzezinski

received another call: The early-warning system actually showed

2,000 missiles heading toward the United States. As Brzezinski

prepared to phone President Jimmy Carter to plan a full-scale

response, he received a third call: It was a false alarm. An early

warning training tape generating indications of a large-scale Soviet

nuclear attack had somehow transferred to the actual early warning

network, which triggered an all-too-real scramble

Brzezinski briefed U.S. vice-president George H. W. Bush before

his 1987 trip to Poland that aided in the revival of the Solidarity

movement

1985 under the Reagan administration, Brzezinski served as a

member of the President's Chemical Warfare Commission

1987 to 1988 worked on the U.S. National Security Council–Defense

Department Commission on Integrated Long-Term Strategy

1987 to 1989 served on the President's Foreign Intelligence

Advisory Board

Task Force

served as Bill Clinton's emissary to Azerbaijan in order to promote

the Baku–Tbilisi–Ceyhan pipeline.

he led, together with Lane Kirkland, the effort to increase the

endowment for the U.S.-sponsored Polish-American Freedom

Foundation from the proposed $112 million to an eventual total

of well over $200 million

One initiative Carter authorized to achieve this goal was a

collaboration between the CIA and Pakistan's Inter-Services

Intelligence (ISI); through the ISI, the CIA began providing some

$500,000 worth of non-lethal assistance to the mujahideen on

July 3, 1979—several months prior to the Soviet invasion. The

modest scope of this early collaboration was likely influenced by

the understanding, later recounted by CIA official Robert Gates,

"that a substantial U.S. covert aid program" might have "raise[d]

the stakes" thereby causing "the Soviets to intervene more directly

and vigorously than otherwise intended". The first shipment of

U.S.weapons intended for the mujahideen reached Pakistan on

January 10, 1980, shortly following the Soviet invasion

attended Harvard University to work on a doctorate with

Merle Fainsod, focusing on the Soviet Union and the relationship

between the October Revolution, Vladimir Lenin's state, and the

actions of Joseph Stalin https:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merle_Fainsod

As a Harvard professor, he argued against Dwight Eisenhower's

and John Foster Dulles's policy of rollback, saying that antagonism

would push Eastern Europe further toward the Soviets

The Polish protests followed by the Polish October and the

Hungarian Revolution in 1956 lent some support to

Brzezinski's idea that the Eastern Europeans could gradually

counter Soviet domination

1958 became a naturalized American citizen

1959 Harvard awarded an associate professorship to

Henry Kissinger instead of Brzezinski

like Brzezinski's widow Emily, is of Czech descent, and

who he also mentored during her early years in Washington

Adam Michnik, future Polish Solidarity activist

governments, while warning against De Gaulle's vision of

a "Europe from the Atlantic to the Urals.

1966, Brzezinski was appointed to the Policy Planning Council

of the U.S. Department of State (President Johnson's October 7,

1966, "Bridge Building" speech was a product of Brzezinski's

influence)
