#China's secretive #Tianh 3 #supercomputer uses homegrown hybrid #CPU — rivals US systems with 1.57 #Exaflops of performance. #NUDT #MT3000 features a unique heterogeneous architecture that includes general-purpose CPU cores with 96 control cores and 1,536 accelerator cores. Netting the MT-3000 processor reportedly achieves 11.6 FP64 #TFLOPS of peak performance and demonstrates a power efficiency of 45.4 #GigaFLOPS/Watt at operational frequency of 1.20 GHz https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/supercomputers/chinas-secretive-tianhe-3-supercomputer-uses-homegrown-hybrid-cpu-rivals-us-systems-with-157-exaflops-of-performance-report #hpc #sanctions

Researchers weigh new benchmarks for #Green500 amid shifting workload priorities
Is it time for the Green500 to expand its scope to account for more diverse workloads?
Similar to the #Top500, which ranks systems based on sheer performance, the Green500 weighs that performance against a system's power consumption in terms of #gigaFLOPS per watt. Just because it's super efficient at #Linpack doesn't mean it'll be in everything https://www.theregister.com/2023/11/20/green500_benchmark_shift/ #HPL #SC23
