Even though there wasn’t much turnover in the latest TOP500 list, a number of new #petascale #supercomputer s appeared that reflect a number of interesting trends in the way #HPC architectures are evolving. For the purposes of this discussion, we’ll focus on three of these new systems: #Stampede2, #TBUBAME 3.0, and #MareNostrum 4. First let’s dispense with the notion that these #supercomputers are mere sequels with their previous namesakes. What they really have in common is their architecturally diversity and their use of the very latest componentry. It’s notable that none of these three systems have been completed yet since they rely on hardware that is not yet generally available or could not be procured in the quantities needed in 2017.
