The Race to Build the World’s Fastest Supercomputers | WSJ U.S. vs. China

The U.S. supercomputer Frontier was crowned the world’s speediest this year, but some computer scientists say China‘s Tianhe-3 may be as fast. WSJ unpacks the tech and design of the machines as the two countries race to solve some of the world’s biggest challenges.

Unlike the Tianhe 2A which is still ranked #9 on the same list, the SUNWAY seems to be built entirely with domestic and proprietary chips, accelerators and interconnects. This machine might be a better indication of China's computing capability because it might be using 100% domestic technology while the Tianh3 2A is built using Intel Xeon chips, Chinese accelerators and interconnects.

One of the US advantages is that it has a lot of talent born abroad, such as 4:09 Thomas Zacharia, director of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. He was born in India and has obtained a Ph.D. in Computational Material Science. PS According to a 2017 study, 81% of students enrolled in Electrical Engineering in US grad schools were international students. At Yale University, 88% in Electrical Engineering were international students, while 81% in computer science were. At Dartmouth, 89% of students enrolled in its graduate computer science program were international students. At NYU- Tandon School of Engineering, 92% of the graduate computer science students were international students. PS This doesn't include permanent residents or naturalized citizens; hence the percentage would be higher for those born abroad.

The new cerebras wafer processor is capable of 80 EXO scale speeds. They described this supercomputer as 1 EXO scale. The wafer processor is about 40,000 Watts and this machine is over a million Watts, I believe I put these numbers in correct perspective. This monster supercomputer is already dated. Expect the next generation of machines this size to be terrifyingly fast compared to this slow machine. When I bought my first 486 dx2 computer with a 33 MHz bus operating at 66 MHz in the late '80s I couldn't imagine machines operating at a faster speed. Now I can't imagine such high frequencies, it boggles the mind.

[@miyagiryota9238]

Then why is cerebras not built for any supercomputer in any country if its way faster than 1 exascale?

Connecting their supercomputing Machine to a legacy machine isn't the problem. Their focus in designing the chip wasn't this be able to put it into any supercomputer that is already out there. The supercomputers that are out there are not equipped to handle the chip and that's not their focus, being able to stick their chip in anybody else's supercomputer. They're building their supercomputers that are more powerful leaving Legacy machines behind. Why doesn't Ferrari build engines for Toyota? How do you put a V12 in a Citroën 2cv?

Because China says one of its main goals is to build a military that can crush the USN so that China can do whatever it wants without being bothered with the World Order that among things forbids countries from - Forcibly conquering other countries for the purposes of ruling them and taking their resources - Blocking shipping lanes by claiming maritime territorial rights beyond 12 miles from shore - Raiding fisheries in other countries' protected economic zones China wants to overturn the World Order based on International Rule of Law because as China becomes economically, politically and militarily powerful, China sees no reason not to exercise that power to take what it wants anywhere in the world. International Law is the main obstacle to China's ambitions and is doing everything it can to eliminate it. The basis of USA foreign policy is that International Law should govern behavior not whoever can be the biggest bully. The USA is protective of the World Order because it protects the intreest and rights of every country big or small, strong or weak. China benefitted from the World Order when it was weak following WWII but now believes it has every right to take what it wants now that it's stronger.

Its estimated that estimated 1.7 exaflops peak performance and just over 1.3 exaflops on Linpack. The information is all hearsay from David Kahaner.

Economic prediction models, yes of equities markets (and the input data on the company side would need to be more robust than quarterly earnings statements but might start there), but also entire macroeconomic system models in forex and sovereign debt, etc. On second thought, since economic input data is likely still very janky and uneven, maybe scrap the above and stick to cool physics, design of automated algorithm-writing/code-writing tools, weather and decryption.
