"Each atomic step would normally take over 5,000 CPU hours on a supercomputer. Now, we can do the same calculation in 2 milliseconds on a desktop,"
Is this phrase equivalent to "Each atomic step would take 5,000 hours on a desktop. Now, it takes 2 CPU milliseconds on a supercomputer."? ^^
- chr1 3y agoNo, they have developed new software wich works much faster. See a few paragraphs above the one you are quoting.
- alacritas0 3y agoI read it as: for the same calculation, what would have previously taken 5,000 CPU cores * hours ran on a supercomputer can now be run in 2 milliseconds on a desktop. Or about roughly 10 orders of magnitude faster
- kragen 3y agono, if you swap the computers around the difference grows rather than staying the same
