    <p>Unfortunately, there is absolutely no information about how powerful the machine is (processor generation, die size (how many cores per processor), how many processors, interconnect information etc.) – I also clicked through to the description of the project, but no information at all about the make-up of the system.</p>

      <blockquote><em><a href="#548539">In reply to wright_is:</a></em></blockquote><p>I found a different article, something like 7.5 million processors. IBM Summit has around 4069 nodes with 2 Power9 processors and 6 nVidia Volta 100 GPUs per node… Interestingly, it looks like they just used ARM processors, where Summit uses a mixture of PowerPC cores and nVidia cards…</p>

      <blockquote><em><a href="#548539">In reply to wright_is:</a></em></blockquote><p>from the opening paragraph "<span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">makes use of Fujitsu’s 48-core A64FX system-on-chip."</span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">it certainly lacked information about the number of processors.</span></p>

        <blockquote><em><a href="#548590">In reply to Simard57:</a></em></blockquote><p>Thanks, I missed that somehow. Probably because I was looking for Arm…</p>

    <p>All the Top 500 supercomputers run Linux so good for Linus Thorvalds.</p><p><br></p>
