Exactly! We’ll know for sure within 2 weeks, in Hamburg ( https://www.isc-hpc.com/ ), but my hope is that they’ve updated the software to get 70% or better efficicency, and installed (or powered-up) the other half of the CPUs and accelerators, which should give the machine at least 1.5 EF/s on HPL.

So, when is Aurora going to be full speed? Is it already beyond the cut-off data for the 2024 Top 500 submissions?

“Submission deadline for the June release of the TOP500 List is April 28th (23:59 PST). All system reported have to be installed and submitted by April 19th.”

Let’s keep in mind Intel had the Microsoft cloud blade for many generations at full IDM IP, likely $500 each with full IP. They had VR11HC, then 12, then 13, then 14….wait for it…now comes 10nm Icelake debacle. They forced Microsoft to design their own chip now they have job shop labor at $29.00 and no IP…

Exactly! In this cut-throat business, such events (unfortunately) often suggest that one’s erred awfully close to the precipice, Sun Microsystem-style … and even an exceptionally able Jonathan Schwartz open-sourcing Solaris, and ZFS, and what have you, may not suffice to quell the now overwhelming call from the void …

But Gelsinger’s doing a great job steering Intel away from the cliff in my estimation. Bringing Aurora up to full speed, and executing right on Granite Rapids, should do wonders for confidence (to me)!
