Minister of ICT: Iran will soon unveil a PetaFLOPS super computer for AI processing

[Shams313]

Are they using AMD Ryzen Threadrippers or EPYC server grade processors?

That system must be built on top of AMD hardware. Intel Out of question.

Explains how HPCs work.

US department of energy will have fastest supercomputer by 2023 with 2 exoflops of power

To put it in perspective 5 exoflops would be all the words ever spoken by humans worth of data.

To put it in perspective 5 exoflops would be all the words ever spoken by humans worth of data.

Exabytes. 5 Exabytes can store all the words ever spoken by humans. Byte is the unit of storing/transmitting data.

FLOPS on the other hand is the unit of data processing rate. It tells you how many floating point operations (i.e. mathematical operations on float numbers) a computer can perform per second. The higher it is, the faster a computer can do mathematical calculations.
A 1 ExoFLOPS computer can perform one billion billion mathematical operations in a second!
