@HPCpodcast-106: TOP500 at SC25 Conference
SC25 showed continued strength of the HPC community with about 16,500 attendees, 560 exhibitors, and the usual fastest network, SCinet, this time with a pack bandwith of 13.7 TBytes/s. And as usual, the latest edition of the TOP500 list was released on Monday. Not a lot of changes in the TOP10 this time, but several noteworthy developments, including the first officially rated exaflop system in Europe at the Julich Supercomputer Center.
Join Shahin and Doug as they analyze and discuss the new TOP500 list. They go over HPL, HPL-MxP, HPCG, Green500, geographical distribution, vendor distribution, and other observations.
