New supercomputer uses SSDs as alternative to DRAM, hard drives
2013-11-05 00:06:57| InfoWorld: Top News
A new supercomputer being deployed this month in the U.S. is using solid-state drive storage as an alternative to DRAM and hard drives, which could help speed up internal data transfers. The supercomputer, called Catalyst, will be deployed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Livermore, California. Built by the U.S. Department of Energy, Cray and Intel, the supercomputer delivers a peak performance of 150 teraflops and will be available for use starting later this month.

Chinas Tianhe-2 supercomputer, twice as fast as DoEs Titan, shocks the world by arriving two years early
2013-06-24 12:56:04| Extremetech
In a massive escalation of the supercomputing arms race, China has built Tianhe-2, a supercomputer capable of 33.86 petaflops -- almost twice as fast as the US Department of Energy's Titan. The US isn't scheduled to build another large supercomputer until 2015, suggesting China will hold pole position for a long time to come. The computer has 32,000 Ivy Bridge Xeon CPUs and 48,000 Xeon Phi accelerator boards for a total of 3,120,000 compute cores, 1.4 petabytes of RAM -- and of course the operating system is Linux.
