From HPCC Futures Topic 2:A Possible PetaFlop Initiative Trip to China -- July 12-28,96. by Geoffrey Fox, Peter Kogge * See also color IMAGE
Superconducting distributed memory
  • A conventional distributed memory design where each node consists of a superconducting CPU, superconducting memory and conventional DRAM memory.
Distributed shared memory
  • How far can the emerging distributed shared memory concept can be extended? Can a Pflop/s system be constructed from one or a number of DSM systems?
A more aggressive PIM design
  • Essentially a general purpose Grape where we use half the silicon for as many "optimal" (250,000 transistor according to Kogge) CPU's that we can
