1,000 trillion

[feather]

That's a petaflop, and the Cray XT Jaguar performs 1,000 trillion PER SECOND (1.02 to be specific).

WHAT THE

The system is powered by 45,000 quad-core AMD Opteron processors that take advantage of 362 terabytes of memory. This and other underlaying architecture allows processors to chew on 284 gigabytes of data per second with its impressive I/O bandwidth, which has apparently been a major bottleneck in supercomputers of yesteryear. Information is stored on 750 terabytes of hard drives.

imagine the heat and the electric bill.

Re: 1,000 trillion

that thing is fuggin badass. we run at the company i work fore just a 256 node 1024 core ibm cluster in about 5 bigass racks and it is noisy and hot as shit. that thing would be fun as hell to screw with....

so much for liquid cooling....unless you got a lake nearby.

Liquid nitrogen all the way! Keeps it colder than eskimo pussy.

Re: 1,000 trillion

i bet trying to use that to cool something this big would cost 2x as much as the actual cluster itself.

Re: 1,000 trillion

CERN will need that kind of processing power when they start analyzing data from the Hadron collider...

Re: 1,000 trillion

its going to cost 25 million to fix that and not until next summer will it be fixed. oops.

Got me interested in how they do cool it without the data center sounding like a 747 at takeoff

air coming out of the cabinet is exactly the same temperature as ambient, pretty spiffy

ya they knew when they built it there would be problems. there has never been one of those type of machines that hasnt had some problems when they first started operating. they're too complext to be built perfectly on the first attempt. but thats a discussion for another thread...

Re: 1,000 trillion

Wonder what FPS it gets on Crysis?

Re: 1,000 trillion

Crysis will probably bring it down to its knees
