India has satisfied its supercomputing needs, but not its ambitions

In the decade since India launched its National Supercomputing Mission (NSM), the nation has commissioned 37 machines with a combined power of 39 petaFLOPS, with another 35-petaFLOPS hybrid due to come online later this year. But while plenty of those machines use locally developed technology, India is yet to deliver on its …

Neat

We've known since Fugaku that CPU-only HPC systems can do very well at 400+ PF/s on HPL, and leading perf on HPCG (until this month's Top500), so the AUM Neoverse V2 should be plenty fine imho, even without a GPU (just needs hefty vector units). It's not as energy efficient as a hybrid CPU+GPU system but way less demanding than the GigaWatt+ systems being considered for AI (so called) training and inference these days.

Hopefully the EU can also field itself some CPU-only 100+ PF/s systems running on Rhea 1 or 2 in the near future ...
