The Blue Gene/P supercomputer "Intrepid" at Argonne National Laboratory (pictured 2007) runs 164,000 processor cores using normal data center air conditioning, grouped in 40 racks/cabinets connected by a high-speed 3D torus network. [1] [2] A supercomputer is a type of computer with a high level of performance as compared to a general-purpose ...
HPE Frontier at the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility is the world's first exascale supercomputer. Exascale computing refers to computing systems capable of calculating at least 10 18 IEEE 754 Double Precision (64-bit) operations (multiplications and/or additions) per second (exa FLOPS)"; [1] it is a measure of supercomputer performance.
Seymour Cray's "get the heat out" motto was central to his design philosophy and has continued to be a key issue in supercomputer architectures, e.g., in large-scale experiments such as Blue Waters. [4] [5] [6] The large amount of heat generated by a system may also have other effects, such as reducing the lifetime of other system components. [7]
The Blue Gene/P supercomputer at Argonne National Lab. The IBM Blue Gene supercomputer uses the CNK operating system on the compute nodes, but uses a modified Linux-based kernel called I/O Node Kernel on the I/O nodes. [3] [19] CNK is a lightweight kernel that runs on each node and supports a single application running for a single user on that ...
Japan is officially starting work on the world’s first ‘zeta-class’ supercomputer. When completed, the machine should run at least a full 1,000 times faster than the world’s current ...
1×10 6: computing power of the Motorola 68000 commercial computer introduced in 1979. [citation needed] 1.2×10 6: IBM 7030 "Stretch" transistorized supercomputer, 1961; 5×10 6: CDC 6600, first commercially successful supercomputer, 1964 [2] 11×10 6: Intel i386 microprocessor at 33 MHz, 1985; 14×10 6: CDC 7600 supercomputer, 1967 [2]
A Cray-1 supercomputer preserved at the Deutsches Museum. The history of supercomputing goes back to the 1960s when a series of computers at Control Data Corporation (CDC) were designed by Seymour Cray to use innovative designs and parallelism to achieve superior computational peak performance. [1]
AWS unveiled a new line of its own AI chips and plans for a supercomputer at its Re: Invent conference, signalling a shift away from Nvidia.
