Tai­pei, Tai­wan, Sep­tem­ber 9th 2020 – GIGABYTE Tech­no­lo­gy, (TWSE: 2376), an indus­try lea­der in high-per­for­mance ser­vers and work­sta­tions, today is announ­cing a part­ner­ship with Nor­t­hern Data AG (XETRA: NB2, ISIN: DE000A0SMU87) to crea­te a HPC mega-pro­ject with com­pu­ting power of around 3.1 exaflops.

GIGABYTE will sup­p­ly GPU-based ser­ver sys­tems equip­ped with pro­ven AMD EPYC™ pro­ces­sors and AMD Rade­on Instinct™ acce­le­ra­tors from tech­no­lo­gy part­ner AMD, a lea­ding pro­vi­der of high per­for­mance com­pu­ting and gra­phics tech­no­lo­gies, to Nor­t­hern Data.

Nor­t­hern Data deve­lo­ps a dis­tri­bu­ted com­pu­ting clus­ter based on the hard­ware at loca­ti­ons in Nor­way, Swe­den and Cana­da, which in its final stage of deploy­ment will pro­vi­de FP32 com­pu­ting power of around 3.1 exa­flops (3.1 mil­li­on tera­flops and 274.54 peta­flops FP64). The world’s fas­test super­com­pu­ter, the Japa­ne­se “Fuka­gu” (Fuji­tsu), has a cal­cu­la­ti­on power of 1.07 exa­flops FP32 and 415.3 peta­flops FP64, whe­re­as the second fas­test, the US super­com­pu­ter “Sum­mit” (IBM) has a cal­cu­la­ti­on power of 0.414 exa­flops FP32 and 148.0 peta­flops FP64.
