What fps do they get with Crysis... Thats the real test.

Why is it always a reference to Crysis when they have an article about supercomputers?
If I recall correctly the last Thread about a MyBB supercomputer article started with "But can it play Crysis?" or something of the sort.

and just like in the previous thread I'm gonna tell you that most of those Super computers probably can't even play Crysis.

Wow... Because Crisis is a very resource hungry game, and even though it is pretty old still one of the games used to test the performance of gaming pc's...

I know that most Supercomputers wont be able to play it, I was joking...

Well, I understood your comment and found it funny! :-)
 
The biggest question is what version of linux does it run?

MS Windows does not really come into play when we talk about supercomputers.

You mean what distro (just to be precise ;) )
They have mentioned this once.... I just can't seem to remember :whistle:
 
Cray CT6M:

Software

Cray XT6 and Cray XT5 systems utilize the Cray Linux Environment™ (CLE). CLE is a suite of high performance software which includes a Linux-based operating system designed to run large complex applications and scale efficiently to more than 240,000 processor cores. The Linux environment features a compute kernel which can be configured to match different workloads. When running highly scalable custom applications, the compute nodes can be run in a lightweight mode, ensuring that operating system services do not interfere with application scalability. This special design ensures that there is virtually nothing that stands between the user's scalable application and the hardware.
Programming Environment

The CLE programming environment includes tools designed to complement and enhance each other, resulting in a rich, easy-to-use programming environment that facilitates the development of scalable applications.

* Parallel programming models: MPI, SHMEM, UPC, OpenMP, and Co-Array Fortran within the node
* MPI 2.0 standard, optimized to take advantage of the scalable interconnect in the Cray XT system

Compilers

* Optimized C, C++, UPC, Fortran90, and Fortran 2003 compilers
* High-performance optimized math libraries of BLAS, FFTs, LAPACK, ScaLAPACK, SuperLU, and Cray Scientiific Libraries
* Cray Apprentice2 performance analysis tools

Administration

* Cray Hardware Supervisory System (HSS) - system monitoring, fault identification, and recovery

Applications

The following is a partial list of HPC industry applications that may be run on Cray XT systems.

Astrophysics - Cactus, Chimera, Gadget, QCD-Milc, ZEUS-MP

Chemistry/Materials - ABINIT, AMBER, CPMD, DCA++, GAMESS, Gromacs, LAMMPS, LS3DF, LSMS, Madness, NWCHEM, PARATEC, Qbox, Quantum Espresso, Siesta, TBMD, VASP

Climate/Weather - 4DVAR, CAM, CCSM, HIRLAM, HYCOM, MM5, POP, WRF

Fluid Mechanics/Combustion - DNS, OpenFOAM, Overflow, PFLOTRAN, S3D

Fusion - Aorsa, GTC

Solid Mechanics - CTH, LS-DYNA

Shees things change quickly I still remember mainframes with MVS on it... then Solaris started taking over... would love to see one of these machines....
