2019 GDD breaking world‘s record of π

 

Day 2

一、breaking pi‘s world record with google cloud 

 

【concept】

memory wall：

Originally theorized in 1994 by Wulf and McKee, this concept revolves around the idea that computer processing units (CPUs) are advancing at a fast enough pace that will leave memory (RAM) stagnant. This isn’t going to happen immediately, but assuming current trends in CPU and RAM remain the same, we could hit a memory wall sometime in the near future.

Once we reach this so-called memory wall, program/app execution time will depend almost entirely on the speed at which RAM can send data to the CPU. 

 n1-megamen-96:

计算节点 96 vCPU, 1.4TB RAM ,单台ECS的配置。那么是否Google cloud的ECS已经突破了物理机限制，实现跨物理机的VM？

查询Google 官网有以下VM机型介绍

机器名称	说明	vCPU 数量1	内存 (GB)	永久性磁盘 (PD) 数上限2	总 PD 容量大小上限 (TB)	本地 SSD
n1-megamem-96	具备 96 个 vCPU 和 1.4 TB 内存的内存优化机器类型。	96	1433.6	128	64	是
