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 ...

[11] [12] With performance of up to three megaFLOPS, [13] [14] it was dubbed a supercomputer and defined the supercomputing market when two hundred computers were sold at $9 million each. [9] [15] The 6600 gained speed by "farming out" work to peripheral computing elements, freeing the CPU (Central Processing Unit) to process actual data.

Tesla Dojo is a supercomputer designed and built by Tesla for computer vision video processing and recognition. [1] It is used for training Tesla's machine learning models to improve its Full Self-Driving (FSD) advanced driver-assistance system. According to Tesla, it went into production in July 2023. [2]
As of November 2019, the supercomputer had ranked as the 5th most energy efficient in the world with a measured power efficiency of 14.668 gigaFLOPS/watt. [9] Summit was the first supercomputer to reach exaflop (a quintillion operations per second) speed, on a non-standard metric, achieving 1.88 exaflops during a genomic analysis and is ...

Aurora was first announced in 2015 and to be finished in 2018. It was expected to have a speed of 180 petaFLOPS [6] which would be around the speed of Summit. Aurora was meant to be the most powerful supercomputer at the time of its launch and to be built by Cray with Intel processors. Later, in 2017, Intel announced that Aurora would be ...
