In this SC22 post-view, Shahin and Doug go over what happened at the supercomputing conference in Dallas last week. Topics include: the energy on the show floor and attendance, liquid cooling, PCIe, CXL, AI chips, open standards, storage, the future of supercomputing, global HPC players and where SC23 will be held and what its tagline will be!
Get Ready for Ronnascale Supercomputing – and Quettascale Data Volumes
November 21, 2022 by Leave a Comment
Now that the exascale (a billion billion, or 1018, calculations/second) computing barrier has been surmounted, and with discussion of zettascale-class supercomputers already in the wind, the General Conference on Weights and Measures (CPGM) has decided to add new prefixes used within the International System of Units (SI) to denote even greater compute power and data […]

TOP500: Frontier Maintains Big Lead, Europe at Nos. 3 and 4, China Quiet
November 14, 2022 by Leave a Comment
The new TOP500 list of the world’s most powerful supercomputers, released today at the SC22 conference in Dallas, while short on surprises underlines several significant HPC trends. First the headline: the HPE-built, AMD-powered Frontier system, which was crowned the world’s first exascale-class system when the previous TOP500 list was released last spring, remains at the top of the list, delivering nearly three times the power of its nearest rival on the list. Frontier remains at 1.102 exaFLOPS….
