  • This bar chart race shows the most powerful known supercomputer systems in the world from 1984, measured by floating point operations per second (FLOP/s, max LINPACK benchmark performance achieved). Black numbers on the bars shows the number of processor cores used. On left side, model/name and location. For more details on each system, visit source.

    Just imagine. Today's rtx 4090 for $ 1,500 is as powerful as supercomputers from 2005 at a price of millions of dollars

      2005 IBM Blue Gene Solution at 280.6 Teraflops dwarfs the Rtx 4090.
      3-4 times faster.

      @Wingnut353 5 місяців тому +1

      Acutally the 4090 only has 1.29 FP64 Teraflops if you are comparing apples to apples. So you would need at least 217 4090s to match it for the same math at the same precision at a cost of $325.5k for the cards alone and not practical to put in a single system. One of the fastest cards on the market for HPC right now the AMD MI300 .. has 47.87 FP64 Teraflops so you would need 6 of them and it would cost around $120k USD and they would fit in a single system costing between 10-50k depending on specs. MI300 can scale up to 8 GPUs per single system.

    I've been saying it for years; we've been walking around with, what was 20 years ago (or less), supercomputers in our back pockets... and what do we do with them? Education? Enlightenment? Productivity?
    no ...we watch cat videos while we take a dump and argue with complete strangers about things neither of us fully understand.
    My Pixel 8 Pro is more (I'll say this appropriately) "powerful" ...than any multimillion dollar supercomputer before 2002. That is fucking mental.

      The biggest hurdle to just raw numbers of GPUs is the Input/Output bandwidth and latency. If a gpu spends 99% of its time waiting to read and write data it will have bad performance.

    • @Wingnut353
      @Wingnut353 5 місяців тому

      That's because it IS crazy, and its not, super compuers of 20 years ago have very fast FP64 math (64bits of precision) phones and even desktop PCs usually don't, it still takes a $120k usd+ computer to match a top end super computer for 2005. Iphone 15 has around 2 teraflops FP32, and 30 something AI teraflops which is probably FP16. It is much much easier to calcualte smaller operations.... meaning your phone is still vastly weaker thana 2005 super computer.
