Supercomputer CPUs

[CPUShack]

Who has CPU's from a supercomputer (or HPCs as they are now called)

Here is one I got today:
Its a SiCortex processor node.
It has 6 MIPS64 cores each running at 700MHz, 256k L2 cache, 2 DDR2 memory controllers, a 8xPCI Express controller, and crossbar memory controller and gigabit ethernet.

Dissipates 10Watts.

They use 972 of them per computer, for almost 6000 cores. One of the most energy efficient HPC's on the Top500 list.

thats still nearly 9800 watts per computer

puts my dual xeons to shame

nice pickup CPUShack

yah considering many HPC's need their own substation to power them, the SiCortex ones will run on a single circuit (granted a decent size one lol)

Cool chip.
Who are other HPC CPU manufacturers?

Cool!

I'd love to have a couple of supercomputers in my back room

I just love the name "SiCortex" - such a cool name

This chip was used in a Culler Harrison Supercomputer. heres a little info on Mr Culler.

this baby is a hardware multiplier 16x16, 32-bit answers through 16-bit output

And this would be considered off the shelf parts adapted to use in a supercomputer i would guess

Here's my Super Computer chip:
CRAY, 701964-003, K-0119
I don't know anything about this item, so if you can ID this chip, I'd be grateful and you will receive an Irish good-luck spell in return!

I imagine UPS for 9800W
