Readers interested in high performance systems are familiar with the current leader of supercomputers ranking K Computer, which was built by Fujitsu to meet the needs of Physical and Chemical Research Institute in Kobe (Japan). The complex consists of 864 stands, each has a set up to 24 processor SPARC64 VIIIfx.
Each board is equipped with a massive copper liquid cooling system that keeps the temperature of the processor under load at 32-35 degrees Celsius. RAM modules in quantity of 32 pieces (each 2 GB capacity) are cooled by natural means, and take up almost all the remaining space on the PCB.
Power consumption is 30 K Computer megawatts, but Yuichiro Adzima (Yuichiro Ajima), architect and Internal Communications from Fujitsu, argues that the theoretical maximum is at around 60 megawatts.
