The Titan Supercomputer....

[Spit]

Been reading up about this on Anandtech and just thought I would list the specs for the geek in us...



200 19" Cabinets...

18,688 16 Core Opteron 6274 CPU's with a total transistor count of 44.85 Trillion over 299,008 Opteron cores.

18,688 Kepler K20 (GK110 2688 CUDA Cores Per GPU) GPU's with a total transistor count of 132.68 Trillion and 50 Million CUDA Cores.

32Gb DDR3 Per CPU & 6Gb GDDR5 Per GPU = 710Tb of memory.

10 Petabytes of system storage consisting of 10,000 1Tb 7200rpm HDD at 240GB/s. Most cost effective solution.

Peak load is 9 Megawatts of power pushing 20+ Petaflops!

What a beast!!!

And before you ask, NO, it will not run Crysis at 60fps

In before "But can it play Crysis?"

Impressive though, just ridiculous the amount of RAM, I bet it would still fall over after a few open tabs in Firefox though

FFS you beat me

I'm guessing it could play Crysis on Medium settings at a push.

 

[Feek]

Eve would still be laggy.

 

[Efour]

Eve would still be laggy.

This is true..

Hot diggidy!

For that power, what will it actually be used for?

Nevermind i googled.

You could've read the linked article!

 

[ChroniC]

So what does it get used for as I am to lazy to read the article.

Playing Crysis on Medium settings.

Didnt notice the little tab thing to go to the application setting.

 

[Spit]

Probably have all that power in a mobile phone in 20 years.

 

[alexthecheese]

Does the IO transfer speed seem slow to anyone - 240gb per second? Not joking, is that a bit slow considering the rest of the stats?

 

[Spit]

It is slow compared to the other specs but don't forget this is built for compute so I/O is not as essential.

 

[estebanrey]

I'm more impressed with this personally....

They're trying to make a computer that emulates the human brain.

 

[Jono]

Wanton extravagance!

 

[GinG]

How does this compare with the OcUK 'Titan' system please?

Edit: no problem answered my own question...Titan with AMD vs OcUK with Intel i5, no questions needed.

 

[Cosimo]

The cooling system is almost as impressive as Titan.

 

[Disco Boy]

Meh. Standard day at the office.

...and in 10 years time the latest smart phone will be just as quick
