Supercomputers are usually thought of as massive constructs that incorporate several huge servers, wires, and memory boxes that can easily take an entire building to hold. Nvidia managed to create one that is so efficient, they actually have one in-house. This is a huge development because it puts owning a supercomputer privately that can be placed in one’s home much closer to reality.
The supercomputer in question is called the DGX SaturnV, Futurism reports and it’s surprising for two reasons. One is the fact that Nvidia actually created a supercomputer.
The company is known for having substantial influence in the graphics card and computer chip market and has even expanded to include manufacturing parts for other industries. Even with its capability in the tech sector, hardly anyone knew about its plans to launch a supercomputer.
The other surprising fact about the DGX SaturnV is being included in the list by the TOP500 publication, which listed the supercomputer among the 500 computer units with significant performance. More than that, it’s also the world’s most efficient unit, as far as supercomputing goes.
Another example of a supercomputer included in the list is the TaihuLight, which is owned by the government of China. In terms of common occurrences among groups that could possess supercomputers, international conglomerates and governments are pretty much the norms.
According to Nvidia’s blog post about the DGX SaturnV, the supercomputer is capable of delivering 9.46 gigaflops/watt. This makes it 42 percent more efficient than the supercomputer that was listed on the same label back in the June issue of the TOP500 list.
The SaturnV also comes equipped with 63,488GB of RAM, as well as 60,512 cores via the Intel Xeon E5-2698v4 processor. It may not be the most powerful supercomputer in the world, being just 28th overall, but it still packs quite a lot of muscle.
