No, it's not. Google's data centers would probably perform like crap on the kind of workloads run on supercomputers.

- monocasa 8y agoI'm not so sure. It's normally about the interconnect with supercomputers, but modern datacenters have really pushed that boundary quite a bit. They still have higher latency in some regards, but they have a lot of reconfigurable hardware on the ethernet adapters that pushes down the latency in interesting ways.
- xbmcuser 8y agoI think he/she is talking about google TPU pods which can do 11.2 petaflops each. That's what they are offering google compute customers. Internally they probably have faster and larger pods by now as they usually publish about this stuff 6-12 months after they have moved on to something better.
