Yes, I'm sure this is brand new technology. Good thing they didn't have this 15 years ago and fake things like telephone calls from airplanes. Whew, huh?

If you really understood the computer industry you would know that computers did not have the processing power to do this in 2001.

in 2001 the fastest computer system in the world was ASCI White. It was distributed memory processing system made of IBM SP Power 3, which took up a whole datacenter which clocked in at a Whopping 7TFLOPS at a cost of over 110 million
These types of systems work well for Computational Fluid Dynamics problems that run for days. week, and months but do not work well for codes that cant take advantage of being broken up in 3d grids and distributed to the processors and memory of 100s to 1000s of different compute nodes.


In 2017 a simple desktop PC can be built for around 15k that does 7TFLOPS utilizing something as simple as Tesla Video cards.


That doesn't mean that Governments have not had or been able to use this type of technology for the last 8 or 9 years, but they didn't have it in 2001.

BTW: A little background. I was the System architect for 2 top ten systems back in 2003 and 2004. I wont be any more specific on those two systems because I'd prefer not to identify myself.
