Everything about Riken Mdgrape-3 totally explained
MDGRAPE-3 is an ultra-high performance
supercomputer system developed by the
RIKEN research institute in
Japan. It is a special purpose system built for
molecular dynamics simulations, especially
protein structure prediction.
MDGRAPE-3 consists of 201 units of 24 custom MDGRAPE-3 chips (4808 total), plus additional Dual-Core Intel
Xeon processors (codename
"Dempsey") which serve as host machines.
In
June 2006 RIKEN announced its completion, achieving the
PetaFLOPS level of
floating point arithmetic performance. This was more than three times faster than the 2006 version of the IBM
BlueGene/L system, which then led the
TOP500 list of supercomputers at 0.28 PetaFLOPS. Because it's not a general-purpose machine capable of running the
LINPACK benchmark, MDGRAPE-3 doesn't qualify for the
TOP500 list.
