Cray announced first Rainier supercomputer
Here is supercomputer November 2006 share by processors used:
100 teraflops by the end of this year, and again to 250 teraflops in 2007 or early 2008.
So why is Opteron role important there? 100 Tflops currently releases a lot of heat.
Just released, code named Hood supercomputer at NERSC consists of over 19,000 AMD Opteron 2.6-gigahertz processor cores, with two cores per socket making up one node. Each node has 4 gigabytes (4 billion bytes) of memory and a dedicated SeaStar connection to the internal network. The full system will consist of over 100 cabinets with 39 terabytes (39 trillion bytes) of aggregate memory capacity.
The Cray XT4 supercomputer is the first product in Cray's Rainier program.
The Cray XT4 supercomputer uses up to 30,000 AMD Opteron dual-core processors running a highly scalable operating system and interfaced to the Cray SeaStar2™ interconnect chip.
Just as predicted by badhardware.
