“How do these ‘snort your coffee’ numbers arise?”: Expert questions the validity of Zettascale and Exascale-class AI supercomputers, and presents a simple compelling car analogy to explain not all FLOPs are the same x

A leading expert has raised critical questions about the validity of claims surrounding “Zettascale” and “Exascale-class” AI supercomputers.

In an article that delves deep into the technical intricacies of these terms, Doug Eadline from HPCWire explains how terms like exascale, which traditionally denote computers achieving one quintillion floating-point operations per second (FLOPS), are often misused or misrepresented, especially in the context of AI workloads.
