AMD Now Has More Compute On The Top500 Than Nvidia
The Next Platform, Monday, November 18th, 2024
There has been a lot more churn on the November Top500 supercomputer rankings that is the talk of the SC24 conference in Atlanta this week than there was in the list that came out in June at the ISC24 conference in Hamburg, Germany back in May, and there are some interesting developments in the new machinery that is being installed.
The big news, of course, is that the long-awaited 'El Capitan' system being built by Hewlett Packard Enterprise with hybrid CPU-GPU compute engines from AMD is up and running and is, as expected, the new top flopper on the rankings. And by a wide margin over its competition in the United States and the rumored specifications of exascale-class machines in China.
