What? The US government and others are still building these computers because they are valuable. Summit for example is nearly constantly in use at full capacity and has enabled a huge variety of research. It's hardly a "reserve" capability. Not to mention that AWS isn't really suited for a lot of the biggest supercomputing workloads... TOP500 is not very important, but it's not meant to be much more than a simple benchmark that correlates roughly with real performance. Supercomputers aren't designed just to be number 1 on TOP500, it's a byproduct of their actual goal. |
