Yes, I agree with the basic point. Where is the spec for El Capitain, then? I don't remember ever finding it, and I rather assumed it would wait for possible lessons from the Frontier hardware.
It's possibly worth saying that these things presumably are competitive with nvlink-based multi-GPU, and appear to support unified memory, but I don't know how that compares with ac922s. Not that UM is relevant for what I know of usage on our system....
- dragontamer 5y agoWow. This is quite frustrating. I have plenty of links, but they're all from non-primary source newsites, like servethehome or (worse) wcftech. Those are more "casual" blogs that aren't worth quoting IMO and are closer to rumormills (even if they sometimes have good information). I can't find a single spec from AMD's website or ORNL, or the Department of Energy (primary sources: the ones we know would tell the truth on this matter). The closest I got is this: https://www.amd.com/system/files/documents/oak-ridge-national-laboratory-cholla.pdf https://www.amd.com/system/files/documents/oak-ridge-nationa... Which is an MI100 test that ORNLs did in "preparation" for Frontier. It doesn't seem like Frontier nor El Capitan have had their specs officially released yet.
