傳橡樹嶺的Fermi超級電腦計劃已因功耗問題取消
 

如果是真的話，Fermi 看來會另一個R600。

Oak Ridge cans Nvidia based Fermi supercomputer
Fermi power use the culprit
by Charlie Demerjian

December 16, 2009

Nvidia world iconREMEMBER THE TRIUMPHANT WIN for Fermi at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory that Nvidia heavily touted at its GTC conference keynote? The supercomputer project was just killed for power reasons. Fermi power reasons. Whoops.

That keynote 'win', shortly followed up by the showing of faked boards, was the highlight of an otherwise dull show, but it was used to show the potential of Fermi. Faked boards aside, putting GPUs into HPC clusters and supercomputers is what Nvidia has staked much of it's future on. The Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) win was a massive PR statement, even if it was unlikely to net Nvidia any money directly.

These 'wins' tend to be 'sold' at breakeven or a loss when all the numbers are added up, but they provide some very compelling selling points for smaller and more lucrative corporate clusters. It was a halo that would have been used to sell many more Fermi and Quadro boards over the next few years.

We said "would have been" because word has reached us that the win is now dead and gone. Stone cold dead. Actually, the blame is being put on Fermi and it's power use, so it might not be stone cold, maybe burnt to death by hot stones. In any case, Dear leader is now zero for two in the 'wins' he touted at GDC. Fermi is massively delayed, underpowered, hot, and the stopgap GPUs are so good that Nvidia won't push them directly. Talk about opening a can of whoop-ass!

We plan on asking Nvidia for a comment about this, but it has recently decided not to respond to us any more, so don't hold your breath for an update. If it does come, it will be posted here.S|A

假如是另一個R600

那nVIDIA後勢看漲 :flash:

就怕是另一個Larrabee :stupefy:

出師未捷身先死嗎!?@_@!?

說不定有後備計劃的說

:flash: :flash: :flash:

看來Larrabee將會是intel的傳說之一 :laugh:

變成LetItBe 機會很高 :laugh: :D:D

標題這項訊息可能是錯誤的

False Rumor - Oak Ridge Cancels NVIDIA Fermi Based Supercomputer!

"After talking to both Oak Ridge and NVIDIA it would appear that Charlie is just trying to stir the pot in order to boost traffic or living up to his sites name."

這應該是假的

既然證明GPGPU能用 那幹嘛不拿來好好的用吧?
不管是ATI Nvidia都好

我只相信革新性產業
才能幫助人們建構更有效率 更低廉的基礎硬體

原來是假消息:ase.......

不過話說回來，Fermi的耗電量以目前的消息來看似乎真的很不樂觀 :cry:
