This Enormous Computer Chip Beat the World's Top Supercomputer at Molecular Modeling
Simulations yielded a 179-fold speedup over the Frontier supercomputer. That means the chip could crunch a year's work on a supercomputer into a few days.
So they could quickly exchange information about their position, motion, and energy, the processors modeling atoms that would be physically close in the real world were neighbors on the chip too. “Future work will focus on extending the strong-scaling efficiency demonstrated here to facility-level deployments, potentially leading to an even greater paradigm shift in the Top500 supercomputer list than that introduced by the GPU revolution,” the team wrote in their paper. He's curious about pretty much everything, but especially loves learning about and sharing big ideas and advances in artificial intelligence, computing, robotics, biotech, neuroscience, and space.
