OMG I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS ! any sponsers ? only 97 million ! Well the Titan as it was came loaded 18,688 AMD Opteron 6274 16-core CPUs, and 18,688 Nvidia Tesla K20X GPUs. If you’re counting, this makes Titan a 299,008-core computer. It sports 710TB of memory, with a split of 598TB dedicated to the CPUs and 112TB to the GPUs. Before this new goal of upgrading Titan’s storage, it had 10 petabytes of storage, running at 240GB/sec. The rig can perform around 27 petaflops, and the entire unit cost $97 million dollars, which is pocket change for the rich right ☺. So what are they doing to up the ante? The people at Oak Ridge have decided that they wanted to step up the systems storage capabilities by adding a new file system that that has 40PB of storage. Instead of just upgrading the space the new file system will allow Titan to reach performance speeds of 1.4TB/s.
