My point is that nvidia powers most of the supercomputers in the world. It dominates the top 20. AMD is nowhere near that. Much less with GPUs.
EPYC is a step in the right direction though. Now if only AMD could bring GPUs in line...

You sure you don't work for Nvidia?
When AMD gets a sizeable market share in the supercomputer market with GPUs, I'll gladly post about it. If that ever happens...You sure you don't work for Nvidia?

Happy?
where's the fun in that?OR Just report the story and skip the bias ?
I love the headline.... Nvidia powered super computer.
Ummm .... 110 volta GPUs doesn't make it Nvidia powered. It gives it a bit of GPU compute.....
I would say 290,304 AMD chips... making for 18,579,456 physical Ryzen cores, and 37,158,912 threads would make it AMD powered. lol
It is still at least 4536 EPYC CPUs (up to twice as many if it's all 32C), though I am curious as to the topology of this setup. Even if we go 64C 2P systems, that is still 2268 nodes, which means a vast majority aren't hosting GV100s at all.It's 290k cores not 290k CPUs.

Fair... that is what you get for replying to fast sometimes. lol
So about 4500 AMD 7002s.... and 110 Nvidia Voltas. I guess it really is NV powered.
No, it's definitely an AMD supercomputer with ~4500 CPUs in the cluster. Never said otherwise.
It it had 290k CPUs in the cluster then it would be THE supercomputer of the world. As the Summit supercomputer (currently #1) houses around 9k 22-core CPUs and around 27k V100s. It would crush that supercomputer. It would have more physical CPUs than Summit has physical cores.
However, 290k CPUs would need a LOT more RAM than what Cray's supercomputer is going to have. A LOT MORE.
Ya I wasn't thinking when I replied. lol
Would it be considered a supercomputer without the Epycs? Without the Voltas?
If my Math is right and assuming it is 290k CPUs @ 32 cores each... the Crays new supercomputer would have well over 200 petaFLOPS and the Summit was benchmarked at 146 petaFLOPS but 200 is possible on it. 64 core CPUs and that number is north of 400 petaFLOPS. That's also assuming 112 V100s is 2.8 petaFLOPS from the 12.8 petaFLOPS leaving the CPUs at 10 petaFLOPS.
That would be insane. They would need to build it its own power plant if it had 290k CPUs... as it is at 4.5k CPUs I wouldn't want to see the electric bill.
