Yeah the "supercomputer" ranking is a bit of a joke. Every mid-sized google dc would count as a top 10 supercomputer.

- jankeymeulen 6y agoI work at one such "medium sized" Google DCs. Supercomputers are typically much more interconnected, whilst we have a much more traditional topology.
- mhh__ 6y agoIsn't the whole point of a supercomputer that it isn't just a datacentre with an LED display on the front?
- Aunche 6y agoSupercomputers are more about the network topology than raw processing power.
- dekhn 6y agosupercomputers, by tradition, are tightly coupled in a way that Google datacenter servers aren't. The closest thing Google has to supercomputers are GPUs linked by high performance networks, and TPUs (which have their own custom toroidal mesh).
