Not to mention the API and computing model of a supercomputer is vastly different to a phone.
- kergonath 6y agoPhones are heterogeneous multi-core devices these days, with sophisticated memory architectures. They don’t have infiniband but that’s not too far from cutting edge HPC node architectures from ~ a decade ago. I am sure you can use MPI on them as well. Sure, nobody needs to run ScaLAPACK or $random_simulation_code on a phone, but AFAIK there’s nothing stopping them. The difference between a phone and a cluster node is mostly one of use cases, not technology.
