Still Waters Posted June 12, 2018 #1 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Summit, the US's new supercomputer, is more than twice as powerful as the current world leader. The machine can process 200,000 trillion calculations per second - or 200 petaflops. China's Sunway TaihuLight supercomputer, until now the world's most powerful machine, has a processing power of 93 petaflops. Summit's initial uses will include areas of astrophysics, cancer research and systems biology. It is housed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in Tennessee, where it was developed in partnership with IBM and NVidia. Summit contains 4,608 compute servers and has more than 10 petabytes of memory. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-44439515 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFA Posted June 18, 2018 #3 Share Posted June 18, 2018 (edited) I do miss working there. A good friend of mine manages the project. Its seems like the cost to use its predecessor, the Kraken or the Titan was about 20k an hour. Edited June 18, 2018 by FFA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
