When will we get a demonstration with a real interconnect? If the FLOPS/Watt is as good as claimed, why is nobody packaging this as an actual supercomputer?

- adapteva 11y agoEpiphany is being considered as the technology that comes "after the next". CPU is the default, then GPU, then "the others". Software is king and shared resource supercomputers have an incredibly long list of legacy software requirements. This is why we are focusing this effort on an application that is pretty dynamic at the moment, machine learning.
- markhahn 11y agobecause small, slow computers are easy to make power-efficient. the truth is that the processor isn't that interesting, if you're taking a lots-of-wimpy-nodes approach (like BGQ).
- adapteva 11y agoDo you have some ideas/opinions who the industry will contain power consumption with big cores? Current super computers running big brawny cores and GPU accelerators are running at 5 GFLOPS/W at best. (consensus that we need to get to 50 GFLOPS/W).
