Great article. I will keep my ambitions somewhat simple - I'll be happy when I can afford a quad 28-core Xeon with 4 x NVidia V100 and a couple of Xeon Phi Smile

Really nice article! I have a few Cray-related items, for example some issues of their employee newsletter, where this article was in, from 1981.

Awesome!

But is it a typo, regarding the "Earth simulator"? As I understand it, it started out at 35.86 TFLOPS, and the last generation sported 35.61 TFLOPS. That's - as far as I can tell - a reduction?

Regarding the Intel ASCI Red, i have these flip-flops aka "Tera-flops". They where (according to the seller) giveaways from Intel when installing the ASCI Red.

Collecting supercomputers can be done in many ways Laughing
