How fast are SUPERCOMPUTERS ?

[ondooy]

Most or all components inside are made in china. lol

Buying tianhe oem nao!!

but can it run Crysis 3 at ultra settings?

It's quite amazing how power these computers are and how much it can do

er, Tianhe 2 is no longer the fastest... superseded 4 months after release of this video by Sunway TaihuLight, another Chinese supercomputer, ~3x faster.

Singapore's fastest is MINDEF mainframe?

SG's NSCS rank 93 out of 500 wor

I am sure if total computation power is taken, anyone with SLI Titan X pascal and 6950X can almost hit 30 Tflop of SP calculation (with OC).



So the Tianhe is technically just 1127 times faster than the fastest consumer PC.


Compared to DXG1 from Nvidia (which perform the best at half precision computation) that will be around 200 time faster... Still impressive IMHO.


Too bad TH2 doesnt play Crysis at 100K FPS at 4K. lol.

Compare apples to apples, Top500 figures are always in double precision.

Titan X is only ~11Tflops at FP32. FP64 is 1/32 speed at 0.34Tflops.
2x Titan X is only 0.68Tflops.

Tianhe 2 at 33,862.7Tflops.

33,862.7 / 0.68 = 49,798 times difference.

Crysis can scale that well meh?

I bet they only can perform as great as current best available PC...
