  2. El Capitan (supercomputer) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Capitan_(supercomputer)

    El Capitan uses an APU architecture, where the CPU and GPU share an internal on-chip coherent interconnect. El Capitan takes up 7,500 square feet (700 m 2) of floor space, similar to two tennis courts. [5] It is made up of at least 87 compute racks, including the "Rabbit" NVM-Express fast storage arrays and compute nodes. According to The Next ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monolithic_system

    An electronic hardware system, such as a multi-core processor, is called "monolithic" if its components are integrated together in a single integrated circuit.Note that such a system may consist of architecturally separate components – in a multi-core system, each core forms a separate component – as long as they are realized on a single die.

    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.

  9. History of computing hardware (1960s–present) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_computing...

    After the "computer-on-a-chip" was commercialized, the cost to produce a computer system dropped dramatically. The arithmetic, logic, and control functions that previously occupied several costly circuit boards were now available in one integrated circuit which was very expensive to design but cheap to produce in large quantities.
