Supercomputers got pWnD by IBM and Intel
The new Top 500 super computers list came out. Taking 5 of the top 10 spots is IBM including the all important number 1 spot! IBM also took number 2 with SGI coming in a distant third. The #1 rig has 65536 processors that’s $10000 hex or 0-$FFFF addressed. I wonder if there cluster only supports up to 2^16? Ah well with an R Peak of 183,500GFlops who cares? What would I do with 183.5 TFlops? Hmm.. while(1){printf(”hello world!\n”);}?
