IBM to Supply US Government with 20 Petaflops Supercomputer

alexp999 · Feb 3, 2009, 07:32 AM

IBM will be supplying the US Government with two new supercomputers for the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory to handle analysis of the U.S. nuclear stockpile. The first is a 500 teraflops supercomputer called the BlueGene/P which the lab will receive by April, the second being the 20 Petaflops supercomputer which is due by 2012. It is estimated to perform up to 10 times greater than the current most powerful systems. More information follows:

Quote:

BlueGene/P uses a modified PowerPC 450 processor running at 850 MHz with four cores per chip and as many as 4,096 processors in a rack. The Sequoia system will use 45nm processors with as many as 16 cores per chip running at a significantly faster data rate.

Both BlueGene/P and Sequoia consist of clusters built up from 96 racks of systems. Sequoia will have 1.6 petabytes of memory feeding its 1.6 million cores, but many details of its design have not yet been disclosed.

"The Sequoia system will be 15 times faster than BlueGene/P with roughly the same footprint and a modest increase in power consumption," said Herb Schultz, manager in IBM's deep computing group.

"IBM's BlueGene proposal exceeded our requirements while consuming less than half the power of its closest competitor and less than a third of the most power hungry," said Mark Seager, a principal investigator for supercomputers at Lawrence Livermore. "That is a savings of more than 35 megawatts for the lifetime of the machine and translates to a savings of $24.5 million and 108 kilotons less carbon dioxide expended," he said in an email exchange.

"These powerful machines will provide NNSA with the capabilities needed to resolve time-urgent and complex scientific problems, ensuring the viability of the nation's nuclear deterrent into the future," said NNSA administrator Thomas D'Agostino in a press statement. "This endeavor will also help maintain U.S. leadership in high performance computing and promote scientific discovery," he added.

Will it run Crysis with at least 100FPS?

Damn how big is our nuclear stockpile that it requires something like that?

Probably

. Now on a PC with Core 2 Quad and HD4870x2 with settings to high on 1920*1200 resolution you can get 35FPS. So, more then two Terafolps of graphic power is needed just to make the game playable. Now with MS WARP10 software rendering and a BlueGene/P , 100 FPS on 1920*1200 are in reach (everything on max. settings).

It should support 1.6 million CPUs to do that. Since it doesn't get along well with four, it won't with 1.6M. 100fps can be reached by today's desktop hardware (just lower the settings).

I didn't notice the year, but wondered about having so much power to analyze our nukes. But yeah, the year, lol.

Not to divert topic too much, but Newegg has one of the Tyan quad Socket F boards for $329 now. Talking 4P/16C, 64GB systems starting at $4000! Start building your own nuke lab today!

what about the weekends will they run folding at home on this, im sure they could cure cancer with that :P

"The Sequoia system will use 45nm processors with as many as 16 cores per chip running at a significantly faster data rate" so basicly its simlar to the new i7 (not the ones out now but the 8 core + hyper threading ones that are being delayed (if i rembber correctly)

does anybody else think 45 nm would be old in 2012 ??
Why not 32nm sound better or preferably they ditch the nm with pm (pico meters)

FordGT90Concept · Feb 3, 2009, 02:03 PM

Um, the stockpile isn't getting any bigger (in fact, it should be getting smaller) so why do they need even faster supercomputers than they already have now to serve a purpose that hasn't changed for 10+ years? I think it is a waste of taxpayer money.

All the brains in the world couldn't get F@H to run on more than four CPUs.

It is most likely an IBM POWER processor, not Intel.

They will simulate nuclear explosion on this supercomputer to predict operational condition of US nuclear warheads.

The US still has the second largest stockpile of nukes in the world, last time I checked. It's something like four or five thousand warheads.

Hey, no need to be glum -- how do we know the chips in this thing aren't some sort of modified Cell core? That thing runs operations almost as fast as a GPU.
