Optimization for different workloads, scheduling is per workload not renting per machine and that they are submitted the TOP500 list and run benchmarks.
Why do not DCs appear? Because they have not submitted benchmarks and power measurements.
- SiempreViernes 4y ago> scheduling is per workload This is really the key: a supercomputer has the (software) facilities that makes it possible to launch one coordinate job that runs across all nodes. A data centre is just a bunch of computers placed next to each other, with no affordances to coordinate things across them. At on point in time the hardware differences were much greater between the two, but the fundamental distinction where a supercomputer really is concerned with having the ability to be "one" computer remains.
