Supercomputer: HPE Discovery folgt 2027 dem Top500-Vizechampion Frontier
Die nächste Generation Exascale-Supercomputer kommt ab Ende 2027 und wird AMD Epyc-Server-CPUs vom Typ "Venice" und AMDs Instinct-Beschleuniger MI430X haben.

Exclusive: #US Dept of #Energy forms $1B #supercomputer & #AI partnership with #AMD
The US has formed a $1 billion partnership with Advanced Micro Devices to construct 2 supercomputers that will tackle large scientific problems ranging from #NuclearPower to #cancer treatments to #NationalSecurity, Energy Secy Chris Wright & AMD CEO Lisa Su told Reuters.

"My hope is in the next 5 or 8 years, we will turn most cancers, many of which today are ultimate death sentences, into manageable conditions," Wright said.
[that sounds great, but #Trump has defunded #CleanEnergy, he actually wants to use #coal & other #FossilFuels which will increase #cancer rates!]

The plans call for the first #supercomputer called #Lux to be constructed & come online within the next 6 months. It will be based around AMD's MI355X #ArtificialIntelligence chips, & the design will also include central processors & networking chips made by #AMD. The system is co-developed by AMD, #HewlettPackard Enterprise, #Oracle Cloud Infrastructure & Oak Ridge National Laboratory ( #ORNL).

We made some progress on the Cray at the museum today.
We suspected the reason the Cray I/O subsystem was unresponsive was dead NVRAM chips. We wound up configuring a new NVRAM chip with all the correct values in a separate machine of similar vintage (Sparcstation 1+) and then moving the chip over to the Themis VME board in the Cray.
It worked! We can now talk to the Cray I/O system.
Getting closer to booting the machine for real...

TIL how the old #Cray #supercomputer worked. Apparently it would run the same sequence of instructions over many different data sets at the same time. It could do lots of math in a hurry, but only if it was lots of the same math.
It could also run ordinary one-thing-at-a-time software like Unix, but then it wasn't any faster than an ordinary one-thing-at-a-time CPU like the Motorola 68000.
This all sounds awfully familiar. Isn't that how GPUs work?
