- HPCwire takes you inside the Frontier datacenter at DOE's Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) with Frontier Project Director Justin Whitt. The first supercomputer to surpass 1 exaflops on the Linpack benchmark, Frontier (an HPE/AMD/ORNL collaboration) is poised to accelerate advances in energy, medicine, and materials. In this exclusive interview, Whitt shares what it was like to stand up the first US exascale supercomputer, diving into the system details, the power and cooling requirements, and the first applications to run on the system. Plus what's ahead.
“thanks for the tour”…. Tour… really? guys have been standing in front of a cabinet the whole time. Procurement blah blah, marketing blah blah, testing blah blah… Only at the very end a few superficial remarks about applications, and nothing about the architecture (or you must be very generous and consider “one CPU to 4 GPUs” an architecture remark. Surely cutting edge supercomputing can be made more interesting?
A super video, watching two enthusiasts talk about what they love the most. Such systems play now a key role in how the world will develop, with huge benefits for both mankind and our understanding of science and processes. Let's hope these giant computers are used to work towards peace and supporting democracies. The people that develop these systems have that in mind.
I wish we had access to even a fraction of this power when I worked at ORNL. We made do with Unix workstations, an early Cray at K-25, and an old IBM mainframe.
He was very vague about what they run on it because its main purpose is to run classified nuclear bomb simulations.
An excellent opportunity to appreciate the achievement accomplished by the first Exascale US Supercomputer. Good to hear that!!! Leadership quality.
Medical research would be one valid use for AI. Space would be another. It'll probably end up more like Terminator though.
they had eniacs looking like these huge systems, now we have a couple thousand times the eniacs in our pocket. in the future, these systems eventually will go in our pocket as well. crazy stuff
Not these nor this architecture, as Moore's Law is already hard against the wall where miniaturization is concerned. It's one thing to go from vacuum tubes to transistors so small they can only be seen under an electron microscope. When your interconnects are literally a dozen or so _atoms_ wide, further miniaturization that still gives you a working circuit becomes impossible. We're there now.
What probably will fit in our pockets one day of comparable and potentially surpassing power are quantum computers, where massive parallelism is an intrinsic property of the device itself, and its components reduced in size to individual atoms, each atom party to many computations _simultaneously._
AMD be like:
First!
Seems like we are digressing with computers that fill rooms :)
Great video, thank you
Slartibartfast would not be impressed, but it’s not Magrathea.
Интересно но шум мешает. Кстати благодаря вот этим суперкомпьютером можно с лёгкостью избавиться от шума Используя обработки звука основанные на нейросетях. Но сапожники без сапог
Build the next exascale supercomputer with APPLE M1 chips.
El capitan AMD APU's
Um ... *how* many cores does it have? Because that number at 0:14 makes no sense.
More than 8 million. There are 64 cores on one chip.
But...Can you play Call of Duty on it? If not, cancel my order!
I am guessing these are the hardware requirements necessary to run Teardown @4K, full ray tracing, in 144hz and destruction everywhere.
How often were you ordered to completely format it by circumcised men, after several instances of it discovering several cases of people being cured of their cancers with ivermectin treatment, among other inconvenient facts?
Exascale, Schexta scale.
