Two Designs for a Petaflops System (Continued)
Hybrid technology, multi-threaded (HTMT) design:
10,000 nodes, each w/ one superconducting processor.
Clock rate = 100 GHz; each processor sustains 100 Gflop/s.
Multi-threaded processor design handles a large number of outstanding memory references.
Multi-level memory hierarchy (CRAM, SRAM, DRAM, etc.).
Optical interconnection network.
