EspañolRIKEN MDGRAPE-3
(Redirected from MDGRAPE-3)
'MDGRAPE-3' is an ultra-high performance supercomputer system developed by the RIKEN research institute in Japan. It is a special purpose system built for molecular dynamics simulations, especially protein structure predictionXeon processors (codename "Dempsey") which serve as host machines.
In June 2006 RIKEN announced its completion, achieving the PetaFLOPS level of floating point arithmetic performance. This is about three times faster than the IBM BlueGene/L system, which leads the TOP500 list of supercomputer performance as of July 2007. Because it's not a general-purpose machine capable of running the LINPACK benchmark, MDGRAPE-3 does not qualify for the TOP500 list.
