That could be a notional 1 GFLOP/Watt in a fielded system. The original documents for PERFECT are probably a year or two old by now.. but what DARPA is looking for is a nearly 2 order of magnitude improvement... Whether they started at 1 or 1.4 or 6 really doesn't make much difference to what they're looking for.
In any case, it's a long way from a manufacturer's cut sheet to a system installed in a tank bouncing through the woods..

The K20X delivers 1.4 Tflop nearly. If i google it's 235 watt TDP. 1.4 Tflop / 235 = 6 gflops/watt On Dec 17, 2012, at 2:21 PM, Eugen Leitl wrote: > > http://www.networkworld.com/community/blog/darpa-awards-20m-nvidia- > stretch-achilles-heel-advanced-computing-power > > _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
