Project 47 is capable of 1 PetaFLOP of single-precision compute performance or 2 PetaFLOPS of half-precision.<\/p>\n<p>Project 47 is built around the Inventec P47. The P47 is a 2U parallel computing platform designed for graphics virtualization and machine intelligence applications. A single rack of Inventec P47 systems is all that was necessary to achieve 1 PetaFLOP, and it does so while producing <B>30 GigaFLOPS\/Watt<\/b>, which AMD claims is 25% more efficient than some other competing supercomputing platforms. A petaFLOP system uses 33,333 watts. A thousand of PetaFLOP racks would use 33.3 MW and have an exaFLOP.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to its 32-core \/ 64-thread EPYC processors and Radeon Vega GPUs, which feature 4,096 stream processors each, AMD also claims that Project 47 rack has more cores\/threads, compute units, I\/O lanes and memory channels in use simultaneously than in any other similarly configured system.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Link: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nextbigfuture.com\/2017\/08\/amd-reveals-petaflop-supercomputer-in-a-single-rack.html\">https:\/\/www.nextbigfuture.com\/2017\/08\/amd-reveals-petaflop-s...-rack.html<\/a> --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday, AMD revealed the Project 47 supercomputer was powered by 20 AMD EPYC 7601 processors and 80 Radeon Instinct GPUs.
