The numbers for their SATURNV supercomputer are either untrue or absolutely staggering. 4.6 exaflops? #1 on the Top 500 list of supercomputers just barely passed 200 petaflops at peak performance. If you add up the entire list you only get 1.65 exaflops. And LINPACK isn't usually network-bound. How can this possibly be true?
- KenoFischer 6y agoThey're counting TF32, which is a 19 bit format and comparing it to FP64.
- arcanus 6y agoIt's tensor Ops, and so the precision might be even lower than single. It could be BF16, for example.

- fluffything 6y agoYeah, next generation national super-computers are "pre-exascale" supercomputers. Theoretical 4.6 exaflops today is an unbelievable jump. It would be interesting to know what's the HPL perf that it can sustain.
