'1.5 Million Threads: AMD-Powered Archer 2 Supercomputer With 12,000 EPYC Rome CPUs' - Tom's

[UsandThem]

1.5 million threads of EPYC CPUs all under one roof.

This adds up to 11,969 CPUs, and a grand total of 748,544 CPU cores and about 1.5 million threads (we rounded that number up simply because we’ve always wanted to).

Peak performance estimated at ~ 28 PFLOP/s

Finally a setup that rivals @Markfw 's fleet.

Your move, Markfw!

My fleet will be bigger once Threadripper 3 comes out ! If they have 64 core ones, watch out ! I have 8 motherboards that will hold them... hhheeeee

From the Anandtech article about the EPYC Rome CPUs, and not taking into account any discounts they might have gotten, just the CPUs in this supercomputer would have cost $48,000,000 ($4k each X 12,000).

But what FPS can it do in Quake 1 raytracing @8K in software?

Uhhh. If there's a 2080Ti in there somewhere, probably about 60-70 fps.

Do you want Skynet? Because that's how you get Skynet.

what the heck are you doing with all that processing power?

Running WCG, Rosetta@home and Folding@home to help cure cancer, which I had/have

What about Crisis?

That makes sense. mmm Been a while since I done any distributed computing...
