List of top 4 computers in the World:
1. IBM BlueGene/L DD2 Prototype cluster (dual 0.7 GHz
PowerPC 440 w/custom)
32768 proc., 70.72 Linpack TFLOPS, 91.75 Peak TFLOPS
2. NASA Project Columbia (20x508proc SGI Altix 3000 1.5GHz
Itanium2 w/Infiniband)
10160 proc., 51.87 Linpack TFLOPS, 60.96 Peak TFLOPS
3. NASA Project Columbia (16x504proc SGI Altix 3000 1.5GHz
Itanium2 w/Infiniband)
8064 proc., 42.71 Linpack TFLOPS, 48.38 Peak TPLOPS
4. IBM BlueGene/L DD2 Prototype cluster (2way 0.7 GHz
PowerPC 440 w/custom interconnect)
16384 proc., 36.01 Linpack TFLOPS , 45.88 Peak TFLOPS
The PowerPC 440 System-on-chip is created by AMCC, who buy PowerPC 4XX IP from IBM.
What if someone create Infiniband cluster based on 10 thousands processing element boards with 970 MP / Antares System-on-chip (2.5 GHz / dual core)?
Will this system break world record?
The same processing element board can be used as modular motherboard for desktop PowerPC, using PCI Express super I/O board (ie Sonnet Trio), and ATI VGA PCI Express card.
Is this idea possible?
