- valarauca1 12y agoLooks like it'll be in the ball pack of 100 PetaFLOPS (~97.7 PFLOPS). Which should triple the Tianhe-2 (current #1) in computing power.
- fiatmoney 12y agoPower9 is an interesting choice vs. x86. Anyone know the reasoning?
- ams6110 12y agoIt's better for massive parallelization, which is normally what you want for large scale data crunching. More threads per core than Xeon.
- davidmr 12y agoThere are probably other reasons, but the NVLink interconnect is expected to show up on Power systems long before Intel, putting the GPUs much, much closer to system CPU and memory. This thing is going to be a beast.

- ams6110 12y agoLet's hope IBM does a better job than they did on Blue Waters
- mscman 12y agoI'm guessing ORNL isn't going to move the target as much as NCSA did for Blue Waters.
- mscman 12y agoNot a Cray... That's gotta hurt. They've been a Cray shop for years now.
