Acutally the 4090 only has 1.29 FP64 Teraflops if you are comparing apples to apples. So you would need at least 217 4090s to match it for the same math at the same precision at a cost of $325.5k for the cards alone and not practical to put in a single system. One of the fastest cards on the market for HPC right now the AMD MI300 .. has 47.87 FP64 Teraflops so you would need 6 of them and it would cost around $120k USD and they would fit in a single system costing between 10-50k depending on specs. MI300 can scale up to 8 GPUs per single system.
Mind you this graph is based on where the supercomputer was sold, not where it was made. It listed a bunch of crays under Japan because it was sold to their research facilities even though Cray Research is of course an American company.
That's because it IS crazy, and its not, super compuers of 20 years ago have very fast FP64 math (64bits of precision) phones and even desktop PCs usually don't, it still takes a $120k usd+ computer to match a top end super computer for 2005. Iphone 15 has around 2 teraflops FP32, and 30 something AI teraflops which is probably FP16. It is much much easier to calcualte smaller operations.... meaning your phone is still vastly weaker thana 2005 super computer.
I've been saying it for years; we've been walking around with, what was 20 years ago (or less), supercomputers in our back pockets... and what do we do with them? Education? Enlightenment? Productivity? no ...we watch cat videos while we take a dump and argue with complete strangers about things neither of us fully understand. My Pixel 8 Pro is more (I'll say this appropriately) "powerful" ...than any multimillion dollar supercomputer before 2002. That is fucking mental. Awesome video, thank you.
It hasn't been about only designing powerful processors since the late 80s. Even your average computer engineer from the 90s would laugh at that statement.
@@Wingnut353Nothing you said negates anything I said. Also, NEC and Fujitsu were designing supercomputer specific processors in the 90's. I don't mind your argument, but your last sentence was unnecessary.
@@Wingnut353 The late 1990s / early 2000s was the transition from custom-designed powerful vector processors to massively parallel commodity processors in supercomputing.

Just imagine. Today's rtx 4090 for $ 1,500 is as powerful as supercomputers from 2005 at a price of millions of dollars

@@0x1EGENYeah but Japan tends to spec goated super computers, whereas everywhere else specs GPU systems just to get high FP specs.
@@Wingnut353 FLOPs is generally a good baseline of computing performance since most computations are done in parallel against real numbers.
