Exaflop supercomputer. Petaflop machines don’t even ship yet.

Another problem for the institute is to reduce the amount of power needed to run a future exascale computer. “The electrical power needed with today’s technologies would be many 10s of megawatts — a significant fraction of a power plant. 1 megawatt can cost as much as $1m a year. We want to bring that down.”

2014-11-14: Towards the high petaflops

DOE has commissioned “Summit“, designed to peak at 150-300 petaFLOPS, 5x faster than the 54 petaFLOPS Tianhe-2.

2020-11-16: Fugaku has become the first 2 exaFLOPS system
2023-02-23: Zettaflop roadmap

AMD talked about getting to a Zettaflop in 2030-2035. It would need about 500 Megawatts of power. Exascale systems today consume 21MW of power.
