Abstracts
Knocking on the doors of the Petaflop/s: Erfahrungen mit 31 Listen und Ausblick auf die nächsten Jahre mit den TOP500
Since the beginning of the TOP500 project in 1993, the June edition of the
TOP500 list with the fastest supercomputers in the world has been published at
the International Supercomputing Conferences, ISC, in Germany. During the
ISC'08 Opening Session, the latest list will be released and its highlights
and the changes in the supercomputing market will be presented. Information on
all previous TOP500 lists is available at: www.top500.org.
With the 31st TOP500 list, we are now looking back over 15 years of supercomputing experience, see:
www.top500.org/files/TOP500_Looking_back_HWM.pdf
At ISC'08 we are curious to see whether the first Petaflop/s system will have
made it into the TOP500. One of the hot candidates certainly is IBM's
Roadrunner at LANL in Los Alamos, USA. Currently, the number one position is
held by BLueGene/L eServer at DOE/NNSA/LLNL, USA, with a best Linpack
performance of 478.2 Teraflop/s. We are also interested in how Sun's
consolidation system Ranger at TACC at the University of Texas at Austin, USA,
is doing. Ranger missed the 30th list in Reno due to delivery problems with
the AMD processor chips. Ranger has a peak performance of above 500
Teraflop/s. Can Ranger help Sun Microsystems catch up with the other HPC
manufacturers again?
In the 30th list, more than 70 % of the processors in all 500 systems were
manufactured by Intel; this was the largest share of Intel chips in the TOP500
ever. Especially successful are Intel's dual-core Woodcrest and quad-core
Clovertown processors. In the 31st list, we will check whether AMD has been
able to recover or not. We will also have a look at how the Asian countries
are doing. Will the rapid drop in Japan's share be stopped? Are China and
India already new players in the TOP500? Last but not least, we are also
interested in which way IBM's BG series, representing the „power-efficient
systems class “, will go.
