Top500, HPC, supercomputers, hybrid architectures, interconnectAbstract
The article is devoted to the analysis of the current state of the supercomputer industry and the prospects for its development. In terms of methodological approach and tools, the work is a continuation of a series of similar analytical reviews by the authors. The main source of information for analysis is the archive of editions (releases) of the world ranking of the five hundred most productive supercomputers in the world. The novelty of this work lies not only in updating the information, taking into account the latest editions of the Top500 list, but also in focusing on the following circumstance: the global supercomputer industry is undergoing a radical restructuring – transition from the “petascale era” to the “exascale era”. Technological trends and features of solutions for the most productive systems in the world in recent years are given. The pace of development of supercomputer technologies, development trends are discussed: hybrid architectures, interconnect technologies and changes in the positions of supercomputer manufacturing companies. Based on the results of the analysis, reliable forecasts were made for the coming years about the general appearance of exascale systems.
