Exascale Technology Centre at the University od Edinburgh
As part of a company-wide goal of reaching sustained exascale performance by the end of the next decade, global supercomputer leader Cray Inc. (NASDAQ: CRAY) today announced the launch of its Exascale Research Initiative at the Cray Executive Forum Europe currently taking place in Frankfurt, Germany.
ll of the players in the Hybrid Multicore Consortium are betting that the ramp to exaflops of computing power - that's 1,000 times the oomph of Roadrunner - is going to require hybrid architectures.
A human scale cortical simulation will probably require four petabytes of memory -- that's 4,000 terabytes, or 4 million gigabytes -- and running these simulations in real time will have to perform more than one exaflop/s, or 15 quintillion calculations per second.
