Tired waiting for the oft-delayed #Aurora #supercomputer at Argonne?

Intel has produced a video about Borealis, a test system for Aurora at Intel’s supercomputing lab in Oregon

@HPC_Guru Think the full system will be delivered this calendar year? Powered on? Valid HPL run?

@glennklockwood

My guesstimate re Aurora in Calendar Year 2023:

Delivered: Yes

Powered on: Yes

Valid HPL run: Maybe

Intel really needs to deliver on Aurora if they want to be taken seriously in supercomputing.

@HPC_Guru @glennklockwood Or taken seriously in general. Honestly Intel's strategy here really doesn't make any sense, they're trying to make a comeback with all this fancy technology without even knowing how exactly it's all going to pan out. Very different from AMD's execution strategy which developed steadily from 2017 onwards.

@HPC_Guru Do you think they still want to be taken seriously in HPC? I’m not so sure. Seemed like a good idea three(?) CEOs and six(?) years ago, but their focus seems to be on just catching up with TSMC and stopping the bleed to AMD.
