from above: The IBM BlueGene/Q system, named Sequoia, is installed at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and hit 16.32 petaflop/s on the Linpack benchmark using 1,572,864 cores. It's also one of the most energy efficient systems on the list. ... snip ... it has more than two times the number of cores of #2 on the list and getting slightly more than 1.5 times the petaflops by coincidence the last email http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2006x.html#email920129 in the referenced list http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/lhwemail.html#medusa includes discussion of a meeting at LLNL earlier in the week, that I wasn't able to attend ... but a couple of people at the meeting (from other vendors) came by to fill me in on what happened. -- virtualization experience starting Jan1968, online at home since Mar1970 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
