"The US Department of Energy on Friday unveiled Summit, a supercomputer capable of performing 200 quadrillion calculations per second, or 200 petaflops. Its performance should put it at the top of the list of the world's fastest supercomputers, which is currently dominated by China.

Summit, housed at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), was built for AI. IBM designed a new heterogeneous architecture for Summit, which combines IBM POWER9 CPUs with Nvidia GPUs. It has approximately 4,600 nodes, with six Nvidia Volta Tensor Core GPUs per node -- that's more than 27,000."

==================================================





I think they're just trying to make my VIC 20 look bad.

Wonder if hardly anyone on this site understands the statement:

"IBM designed a new heterogeneous architecture for Summit, which combines IBM POWER9 CPUs with Nvidia GPUs. It has approximately 4,600 nodes, with six Nvidia Volta Tensor Core GPUs per node -- that's more than 27,000."

Especially: POWER9 CPUs, Nvidia Volta GPUs, 4,600 nodes, Nvidia Volta Tensor Core GPUs.

(the geek raises his hand)

I do :)

Me too. But I am a geek also.

The two of you are smarty-pants!

in b 4 ~ ¿ what colors does it come in ? ~

Will it have a headphone jack, or will I need a dongle?

Al must be one heck of a game addict.

AI will happen and it will be awesome.

We will make great pets.

The say way dairy cows make great pets :)

I’ve heard that Nvidia is so busy that they’re notoriously hard to get support from. The DoE must be special.
