How close are modern home computers to being as fast as a supercomputer 15 years ago?
What stage is our computers (average) when compared to supercomputers of old?
A typical high-end supercomputer from 15 years ago had a peak performance of about 2 GFLOPS. A modern Core i7 hexacore is theoretically capable of about 100 GFLOPS and a modern Radeon 5970 is theoretically capable of 900 GFLOPS.
This isn’t a very fair comparison though because supercomputers can typically actually deliver a much higher percentage of their theoretical peak computation speed than GPUs or modern CPUs can. However, typical high-end desktop CPU today can actually deliver about 50 GLOPS, so it’s realistically about 25 times faster than a mid-range supercomputer from 15 years ago.
The fastest supercomputer in the world 15 years ago, Japan’s National Aerospace Laboratory’s ‘Digital Wind Tunnel’ had a real-world performance of 170 GFLOPS and a peak performance of 240 GFLOPS. A quad hexa-core Xeon desktop could exceed that, and would cost you less than $20,000.
