I know everyone is nervous about the @top500supercomp FLOPS/Watt for Aurora on social. #SC23 #IamHPC

But...did someone inquire if the reported 24,687kW are also half the system? My personal suspicion is that this could (🙏) be the full system power, too.

This could have a few practical reasons (speculation)

The HPL benchmark could not be run to full size during attempts. The reported number is how far it got so far.

And/or

The power for half of the system cannot be measured independently.

The big Top500 write up is live!

Digging deep into the disappointments around Aurora, but also the surprise and amazing submissions from Microsoft azure.
