Title is not really right, when finished it will be in top5.<p>> When LUMI’s operations start next year, it will be one of the world’s fastest supercomputers.<p>> The peak performance of LUMI is an astonishing 552 petaflop/s meaning 552 *10^15 floating point operations per second. This figure makes LUMI one of the world’s fastest supercomputers. For comparison, the world’s fastest computer today (Fugaku in Japan) reaches 513 petaflop/s and the second fastest (Summit in the US) 200 petaflop/s<p>But good to see heat used for district heating, also that's probably the first supercomputer which will not be used for calculating aging atomic weapon yields.<p>edit: first time I heard about not calculating aging atomic weapon yields. Thanks.
Folding@home hit 2.43 exaflops earlier this year [0]. I'm surprised massively distributed computing isn't being looked into with more fever. It looks like it had somewhere around a 670,000 GPUs running in parallel with ~1.4 million CPUs.<p>Users would need to be incentivised to install distributed computing software, but I think it has promise.<p>[0]: <a href="https://archive.vn/20200412111010/https://stats.foldingathome.org/os#selection-227.15-242.0" rel="nofollow">https://archive.vn/20200412111010/https://stats.foldingathom...</a>
