    TOP500 Expands Exaflops Capacity Amidst Low Turnover
    [07:05] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell- ( status 404 @ https://www.top500.org/news/top500-expands-exaflops-capacity-amidst-low-turnover/">TOP500 ) [07:05] schestowitz
    [07:05] schestowitz

    The entry level to the list moved up to 1.32 petaflops on the High Performance Linpack (HPL) benchmark, a small increase from 1.23 petaflops recorded in the June 2020 rankings. In a similar vein, the aggregate performance of all 500 systems grew from 2.22 exaflops in June to just 2.43 exaflops on the latest list. Likewise, average concurrency per system barely increased at all, growing from 145,363 cores six [07:05] schestowitz months ago to 145,465 cores in the current list.

    [07:05] schestowitz

    There were, however, a few notable developments in the top 10, including two new systems, as well as a new highwater mark set by the top-ranked Fugaku supercomputer. Thanks to additional hardware, Fugaku grew its HPL performance to 442 petaflops, a modest increase from the 416 petaflops the system achieved when it debuted in June 2020. More significantly, Fugaku increased its performance on the new mixed [07:05] schestowitz precision HPC-AI benchmark to 2.0 exaflops, besting its 1.4 exaflops mark recorded six months ago. These represents the first benchmark measurements above one exaflop for any precision on any type of hardware.

[07:14] schestowitz We can refine that script over time, both of us, to make the presentation better, e.g. with unicode bits. [07:14] schestowitz That would not require reproducing older files, so long as they too are readable and are version Y-X. [07:14] schestowitz I'll have a go at it now. [07:14] schestowitz In what fashion (visually) will the text version be visible in wordpress. Another quartet of icons?

[07:43] schestowitz If the page is HTML, no reason to mix plain text and HTML. Maybe we can start afresh with different icons for BOTH the HTML versions and text versions.

[07:55] schestowitz Maybe we can get rid of that layout while at it, maybe combine those with the ipfs bit, to avoid splitting too much?
