 ational Laboratory)\n\nCORAL, the Collaboration of Oak Ridge, Argonne and 
 Livermore, is fielding two similar IBM systems, Summit and Sierra, with NV
 IDIA GPUs that will replace the existing Titan and Sequoia systems. Summit
  and Sierra are currently ranked No. 1 and No. 3, respectively, on the Top
 500 list. We discuss the design and key differences of the systems. Our ev
 aluation of the systems highlights the following. Applications that fit in
  HBM see the most benefit and may prefer more GPUs; however, for some appl
 ications, the CPU-GPU bandwidth is more important than the number of GPUs.
  The node-local burst buffer scales linearly, and can achieve a 4X improve
 ment over the parallel file system for large jobs; smaller jobs, however, 
 may benefit from writing directly to the PFS. Finally, several CPU, networ
 k and memory bound analytics and GPU-bound deep learning codes achieve up 
 to a 11X and 79X speedup/node, respectively over Titan.\n\nTag: Architectu
