35TFlops was the benchmarked (double precision) performance, and 15TF is theoretical peak single precision performance of the V100. You need double precision for these simulations.
V100 has about 7.5TFlops double precision peak performance (with Fused Multiply-Add)
So in real world performance you would need like 10 servers each with 4 V100 GPUs to match the performance (stacked on top of each other connected with Infiniband).
You can also put 256GB RAM into each server (and 10TB NVM). It would still have much less RAM, but should be able to beat the Earth Simulator handily due to the extra and very concentrated arithmetic performance.
