According to the tweets, researchers who reserved time for their projects on the supercomputer had to sign NDAs so they cannot complain about the delays... not exactly a good look.
- ac29 4y agoIt should be noted that during that 4 year delay the computer was also upgraded by an order of magnitude (180 petaflops -> 2 exaflops). Intel deserves criticism for their various delays for sure, but the proposed 2018 machine and the shipping 2022/23 machine really are only the same in name.
