SuperMike
Atipa-built Beowulf-class parallel supercomputer acquired by Louisiana State University for scientific and engineering research in 2002. This is a historical benchmark reference, not a current product offering.
Benchmark and hardware
Source per value- Rank Position in the TOP500 edition named in the Edition column. Historic systems keep the rank of the edition where they last appeared.
- 450 1
- Rmax PFLOP/s Measured double-precision LINPACK (HPL) performance of the listed configuration. Older TFLOP/s and GFLOP/s figures are converted to PFLOP/s.
- 0.002 1
- Rpeak PFLOP/s Theoretical peak double-precision performance of the listed configuration. This is not AI or mixed-precision throughput.
- 0.004 1
- HPL efficiency % Rmax divided by Rpeak: the share of theoretical peak the system delivered on LINPACK. Computed from the two sourced figures.
- 59.9 1
- Site Host or operator named by TOP500 for the installation.
- Louisiana State University 1
- Region World region of the installation country (grouping applied by this site).
- Americas 1
- Vendor Manufacturer or system supplier exactly as submitted to TOP500.
- Atipa 1
- Vendor group Supplier grouped for filtering. Bull is the Eviden/Atos line; Other covers single-system suppliers.
- Other 1
- System model Hardware platform in the cited TOP500 edition.
- P4 Xeon 1.8 GHz - Myrinet 1
- Processor CPU description in the cited TOP500 edition; clock and core count refer to the processor model.
- Pentium 4 Xeon 1.8GHz 1
- Accelerator vendor Maker of the accelerator. None listed means TOP500 names no accelerator for the system.
- None listed 1
- Interconnect Network fabric exactly as listed in the cited TOP500 edition.
- Myrinet 1
- Fabric Interconnect family derived from the listed interconnect (grouping applied by this site).
- Other 1
- Cores cores Total cores submitted to TOP500, including accelerator cores where TOP500 counts them. Not a CPU-only count and not a CUDA-core count.
- 1,024 1
- Installed Installation year reported in the TOP500 system record. Not necessarily the year of production acceptance.
- 2002 1
- Edition TOP500 edition (YYYY-MM) that supplies the ranking and benchmark data. A historic edition does not assert current operating status.
- 2006-06 1
- OS Operating system from the TOP500 system record.
- Linux 1
- TOP500 record Link to the TOP500 database record for this exact submission.
- https://top500.org/system/168168/ 1
- Nodes nodes Compute node count as described by the operator. It can exceed the nodes used in the benchmark run.
