Title: Germany builds ARM based supercomputer - 18 times more efficient
Post by: mamboman75 on July 31, 2025, 03:37:04 AM
"Originally dedicated to biological neural network simulation, the SpiNNcloud Server System is tailored for massively parallel execution of small, heterogeneous compute workloads, with generally programmable 10 million ARM-based processors with many dedicated DNN accelerators," he continued.

Mayr further underlined the capabilities of the system in terms of screening.

"A prototype neural network allows the screening of 20 billion molecules in less than an hour, two orders of magnitude faster than on 1000 CPU cores," he said.

That's really interesting. Really huge power difference between ARM and x86
