> Why aren’t these AI companies submitting to the TOP500 to show off their computing prowess?
my knowledge is 10+ years out of date, but once upon a time if they'd chosen to, Google could have had _several_ entries in the top 10 of the TOP500 list
It's just poker, they didn't want to tip their hand
We're too busy regulating the tech, not granting access to US engineers and companies, arguing against power and data centers, stopping skilled immigration.
This is absolutely going to bite us in the face in five to ten years.
Separate issue that has nothing to do with US manufacturing or HPC. I think our retreat from science funding and offshoring advanced manufacturing is a bigger issue.

Cloud computing is not a supercomputer. Different architecture, bandwitch, interconnectivity and latencies.
That's not nearly as true when you look at AI training clusters. They're basically supercomputers but without an FP64 focus.
(These are the systems to which GP was referring at Google.)
Just glad to see Hamburg mentioned :) Hope you all didn’t suffer too much through the current heatwave
Would the AI “GW-scale” clusters be able to run the Top500 benchmarks meaningfully? And what might be the outcome?
Extremely impressive accomplishment considering they did this with Chinese interconnects and Chinese chips. This is a wake up call.

Is it the first to reach 2 exaflops?
