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.
It was designed by the National Research Center of Parallel Computer Engineering & Technology (NRCPC) and is located at the National Supercomputing Center in Wuxi in the city of Wuxi, in Jiangsu province, China. [5] [2] The Sunway TaihuLight was the world's fastest supercomputer for two years, from June 2016 to June 2018, according to the ...
Measured at 62.86 gigaflops/watt, the smaller Frontier TDS (test and development system) topped the Green500 list for most efficient supercomputer [6] until it was dethroned in efficiency by the Flatiron Institute's Henri supercomputer in November 2022. [7] Frontier was superseded as the fastest supercomputer in the world by El Capitan in ...
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]
Researchers at both LLNL and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have used planet-scale calculations on the Blue Gene/Q-based cluster to set an all-time simulation speed record of 504 billion events ...
The Cray-2 is a supercomputer with four vector processors made by Cray Research starting in 1985. At 1.9 GFLOPS peak performance, it was the fastest machine in the world when it was released, replacing the Cray X-MP in that spot.
On February 4, 2008, the NSF and the University of Texas at Austin opened full scale research runs on an AMD, Sun supercomputer named Ranger, [44] the most powerful supercomputing system in the world for open science research, which operates at sustained speed of 0.5 petaFLOPS.
