Researchers were able to enhance light-based chipsets for computers! Right now, people are demanding more powerful computing abilities for applications in artificial intelligence.
These include speech and pattern recognition, or self-driving vehicles. The demands often exceed the capacities of conventional computer processors.

A "Mistral" supercomputer, installed in 2016, at the German Climate Computing Center (DKRZ, or Deutsches Klimarechenzentrum) on June 7, 2017 in Hamburg, Germany. The DKRZ provides HPC (high performance computing) and associated services for climate research institutes in Germany. Its high performance computer and storage systems have been specifically selected with respect to climate and Earth system modeling. With a total of 100,000 processor cores, Mistral has a peak performance of 3.6 PetaFLOPS. With a capacity of 54 PBytes, its parallel file system is currently one of the largest in the world.
