I only work on a lowly private cluster but running standard benchmarks is utterly routine here (it is in fact automated). As others with HPC experience pointed out, running benchmarks is pretty much mandatory when bringing a new system up, not just to ensure it actually performs as promised, but also to weed out bad and marginal components. You do one or two weeks of intense benchmarking and testing and you're assure…
> So it is literally unbelievable that Tesla not just stands up a cluster, but created their own hardware to do so, and didn't run any quotable benchmark and only has the theoretic FLOPS numbers for marketing. They haven't gotten to this point yet. They have a single tile (A node). It wouldn't surprise me if the tile they have is just a prototype as well. You have to have a cluster before you can start running cluste…
