Comment on U.S. Invests $258M in Supercomputing Race with Chinaparent

Comments

The Mill isn't really very well suited for supercomputing workloads. It tries to do well on poorly written C++ code (aka "general purpose code") that OoO machines have historically don well on. By contrast, VLIW machines are perfectly suitable for supercomputing, and indeed, I think that Itanium did well in the HPC world until it was discontinued.

Something like the Rex Computing Neo would be more suitable for this.
