Conventional (Distributed Shared Memory) Silcon
-
Clock Speed 1GHz
-
4 eight way parallel Complex RISC nodes per chip
-
4000 Processing chips gives over 100 tera(fl)ops
-
8000 2 Gigabyte DRAM gives 16 Terabytes Memory
|
|
Note Memory per Flop is much less than one to one
|
Natural scaling says time steps decrease at same rate as spatial intervals and so memory needed goes like (FLOPS in Gigaflops)**.75
-
If One Gigaflop requires One Gigabyte of memory (Or is it one Teraflop that needs one Terabyte?)
