IsiCikizikhulu

IsiCikizikhulu siyisicikizi esinezinga eliphezulu lokusebenza uma siqhathaniswa nesicikizi senjongo evamile. Insebenzo yesiCikizikhulu ivame ukulinganiswa ngemigidingo yezintantanani (float points, FLOPS) ngomzuzwana kuneziyalelo eziyisigidi ngomzuzwana (MIPS). Kusuka ngowezi-2017, sekube khona isicikizikhulu ezingenza ezintantnani eziyi-1017. Uma kuqhathaniswa, isiCikizi sasendlini singasebenza maphakathi namakhulu izintantananinqindi (1011) kuya emashumini ezintantananizaca (1013). Kusuka ngoLwezi kowezi-2017, zonke isicikizikhulu ezisheshayo zomhlaba ezingama-500 bezisebenza ngezingqalahlelo olusekwe kwi-Linux. Ucwaningo olwengeziwe luyenziwa kwelaseMelikq, eYurophu, eThayiwani, eJaphani, naseShayina ukuze kwakhiwe iziCikizikhulu zomlinganisokhulu ezinamandla kakhulu nezibuqabavu ngokobuchwepheshe.

Isicikizikhulu se-IBM Blue Gene esibizwa "Intrepid" esise-Argonne National Laboratory sigununda izindeni zezidludlungi eziyizi-164,000 sisebenzisa isilawuli moya esivamile sesikhungo semininingo, eziqembulwe ngezihlohlo izngama-40 ezixhunywe ngoxhoxho lwe-3D Torus olunejubane eliphakeme.^[1][2]

Amandla wokucikiza weziCikizikhulu eziphezulu zokuqala zonyaka ngamunye, alinganiswe yi-FLOPS
