K-12 computer science is essential, not just for students who may pursue computer science or STEM fields in college or the workforce. Computer science principles give students critical computational ...
In June 2011, Japan’s K computer became the world’s fastest supercomputer, achieving a speed of over 8 petaflops — or 8 quadrillion (8 million billion) operations a second. In November the same year, ...
When I left the classroom 12 years ago, computer science was still treated like a niche pursuit, something for the few. Today, it’s the engine of change across every sector. In K–12 education, it is ...
Dozens of states have adopted a wide range of policies to promote K-12 computer science education, but early data suggest only about one-third of U.S. public high schools are currently teaching ...
On November 16, the K computer took first place in the HPCG benchmark, a new index developed to create a more realistic view of supercomputer performance compared to the commonly used LINPACK ...
