It appears to be a paper tiger whose memory system can't possibly feed its execution units.   There are a lot of computers where this is true to some degree (almost all GPU heavy systems have \"implausible\" arithmetic:memory and arithmetic:memory bandwidth ratios even with fancy later-model HBM controllers and such), but this is (1) way worse and (2) across international relations boundaries that encourage rather than discourage pointing out the BS.<\/div><blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/chipsandcheese.com\/2023\/11\/20\/chinas-newish-sw26010-pro-supercomputer-at-sc23\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sunway&rsquo;s new supercomputer<\/a> therefore feels like a system designed with the goal of landing high on some TOP500 lists. For that purpose, it&rsquo;s perfect, providing a lot of throughput without wasting money on pesky things like cache, out-of-order execution, and high bandwidth memory. But from the perspective of solving a nation&rsquo;s problems, I feel like Sunway is chasing a metric. A nation doing well in advanced technology might have a lot of supercomputer throughput, but more supercomputer throughput doesn&rsquo;t necessarily mean you&rsquo;ll solve technological problems faster.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>A detailed look at China&rsquo;s new supercomputer.
