Coming Soon: Japanese 25PF Supercomputer Oakforest-PACS

[touela]

IMO the only field that might need such computational power is space exploration...hope they put it to unravel the mysteries of the space

And another potential area is advanced simulation (of everything), that can be simulated.

simulation is the most important application for super computer. Simulation for everything!

14 gflops/watt, twice what Shenwei 26010 is capable of

Oakforest-PACS will consume less than 3MW of power.....what a efficient little beast of a machine it will be.

Shenwei TaihuLight is 3 times what Titan is capable of, how come I did not see your excitement? Anybody but Chinese?

my excitement? in another thread I said I was impressed by TaihuLight considering it uses Chinese processors and efficient compared to Tianhe-2


2017 is the year of U.S dominance once again.


Knight Hill and Volta will make sure of that

Yes, you did. My bad.

3.05 Tflops at 215 watt I thought that's how you get the Gflops/watt, maybe I'm wrong I dunno

14-16 Gflops/watt seems about right

But that is only for the CPU itself, other system not included. BTW I thought the unit for 3.05 is in GFLOPS

no it's completed

shame Japanese didn't go all in with a 150 PF system.

It is a shame that Japanese can only plan 200 petaflops computer in 2024, that is 8 years from now, while someone else is already to have a 132 exaflops computer in just 4 years.

the Intel chips by themselves will consume 1.7MW the other 1.3MW I left for memory,storage, and cooling

So, that will pit against its peak 25 petaflops, and it is actually 8.33 gflops/watts. So Taihulight's peak 125 petaflops against 15.371 MW is 8,16 gflops/watt

It is not news worthy.

was talking about Knights Hill not Knights Landing

though I might of been a little too optimistic about the efficiency performance and underrated Shenwei

Knights Hill based system will be 10 gflops a watt.

though I was right about it consuming less than 3MW of power.
