New 504 TFLOPS supercomputer tackling mysteries of the universe
Sun's AMD-based 'Ranger' called the world's second most powerful supercomputer

February 22, 2008 (Computerworld) What is being called the second most powerful supercomputer in the world was unveiled today at the University of Texas at Austin.

Ranger, a high-performance computing cluster built by Sun Microsystems Inc., is being formally dedicated by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Texas Advanced Computing Center. The supercomputer is running 15,744 quad-core AMD Opteron processors or a total of 62,976 cores. It also has 123 terabytes of memory and 1.7 petabytes of storage.

David Rich, a spokesman for Advanced Micro Devices Inc., said if the biannual Top 500 supercomputer list were released today, Ranger would be ranked as the second most powerful supercomputer in the world.




Ok, here's my problem. I picked one of these up at SuperComputers 'R Us.
I installed Windows Vista and its slllllooooooooowwwww.

But that paperclip is rendered in 16,000x9,000 resolution, has full artificial intelligence and a vocabulary of 1,000,000 words in 70 different languages. He still makes useless suggestions and crashes a lot, though.

I wonder why they picked AMD? Did they offer a better deal? Or is the opteron still holding the performance crown for highly multi-threded code?

 

[Leros]

I didn't know they were building that here.

It's only the 2nd most powerful? Why bother bragging about it then. Come back when you bought the most powerful then, psha.

So what would you do with something like that? 500 instances of WoW?
