Verfasst vonpipin

EuroHPC JU, das Euro­pean High Per­for­mance Com­pu­ting Joint Under­ta­king, wählt das For­schungs­zen­trum Jülich als Part­ner im deut­schen Gauss Cent­re for Super­com­pu­ting aus, um den ers­ten euro­päi­schen Super­com­pu­ter der nächs­ten Genera­ti­on zu betreiben.

Jülich, 15. Juni 2022 – Die Ent­schei­dung ist gefal­len. Das For­schungs­zen­trum Jülich wird Stand­ort des ers­ten euro­päi­schen Exas­ca­le-Rech­ners. Der Super­com­pu­ter soll als ers­ter Rech­ner in Euro­pa die Gren­ze von 1 Tril­li­on Rechen­ope­ra­tio­nen pro Sekun­de – einer „1“ mit 18 Nul­len – bre­chen. Beschafft wer­den soll das Sys­tem von der euro­päi­schen Super­com­pu­ting-Initia­ti­ve EuroHPC JU. Der Exas­ca­le-Rech­ner wird dazu bei­tra­gen, bedeu­ten­de und drän­gen­de wis­sen­schaft­li­che Fra­gen zu lösen, etwa zum Kli­ma­wan­del, zur Bewäl­ti­gung von Pan­de­mien und zur nach­hal­ti­gen Ener­gie­er­zeu­gung, und den inten­si­ven Ein­satz von Künst­li­cher Intel­li­genz sowie die Ana­ly­se gro­ßer Daten­men­gen ermög­li­chen. Die Gesamt­kos­ten für das Sys­tem belau­fen sich auf 500 Mio. Euro. 250 Mio. Euro wer­den von der euro­päi­schen Super­com­pu­ting-Initia­ti­ve EuroHPC JU und 250 Mio. Euro zu glei­chen Tei­len vom Bun­des­mi­nis­te­ri­um für Bil­dung und For­schung (BMBF) und dem Minis­te­ri­um für Kul­tur und Wis­sen­schaft des Lan­des Nord­rhein-West­fa­len (MKW NRW) getra­gen.

AMD Processors Accelerating Performance of Top Supercomputers Worldwide

Verfasst vonpipin

Growing preference for EPYC™ processors resulted in the number of AMD-powered supercomputers growing 3.5x year-over-year

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Nov. 16, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — During this year’s Super­com­pu­ting Con­fe­rence 2021 (SC21), AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) is show­ca­sing its expan­ded pre­sence and gro­wing pre­fe­rence in the high per­for­mance com­pu­ting (HPC) indus­try with the excep­tio­nal inno­va­ti­on and adop­ti­on of AMD data cen­ter pro­ces­sors and acce­le­ra­tors. Cus­to­mers across the indus­try con­ti­nue to expand their use of AMD EPYC™ pro­ces­sors and AMD Instinct™ acce­le­ra­tors to power cut­ting-edge rese­arch nee­ded to address some of the world’s big­gest chal­len­ges in cli­ma­te, life sci­en­ces, medi­ci­ne, and more.

Gro­wing pre­fe­rence for AMD is show­ca­sed in the latest Top500 list. AMD now powers 73 super­com­pu­ters, com­pa­red to 21 in the Novem­ber 2020 list, a more than 3x year-over-year incre­a­se. Addi­tio­nal­ly, AMD powers four out of the top ten most power­ful super­com­pu­ters in the world, as well as the most power­ful super­com­pu­ter in EMEA. Final­ly, AMD EPYC 7003 seri­es pro­ces­sors, which laun­ched eight mon­ths ago, are uti­li­zed by 17 of the 75 AMD powe­red super­com­pu­ters in the list, demons­tra­ting the rapid adop­ti­on of the latest genera­ti­on of EPYC processors.

“The deman­ds of super­com­pu­ting users have incre­a­sed expo­nen­ti­al­ly as the world seeks to acce­le­ra­te rese­arch, redu­cing the time to dis­co­very of valu­able infor­ma­ti­on,” said For­rest Nor­rod, seni­or vice pre­si­dent and gene­ral mana­ger, Data Cen­ter and Embed­ded Solu­ti­ons Busi­ness Group, AMD. “With AMD EPYC CPUs and Instinct acce­le­ra­tors, we con­ti­nue to evol­ve our pro­duct offe­ring to push the bounda­ries of data cen­ter tech­no­lo­gies enab­ling fas­ter rese­arch, bet­ter out­co­mes and more impact on the world.”

AMD has also been reco­gni­zed in the annu­al HPC­wire Rea­ders’ and Edi­tors’ Choice Awards at SC21. The com­pa­ny won ten awards inclu­ding Best Sus­taina­bi­li­ty Inno­va­ti­on in HPC, Best HPC Ser­ver Pro­duct and the Out­stan­ding Lea­ders­hip in HPC award pre­sen­ted to Pre­si­dent and CEO Dr. Lisa Su.

AMSTERDAM, Feb. 8, 2021 — Leno­vo Data Cen­ter Group (DCG) announ­ced it will deli­ver high-per­for­mance com­pu­ter (HPC) infra­st­ruc­tu­re for SURF, the ICT coope­ra­ti­ve for edu­ca­ti­on and rese­arch in the Nether­lands. The €20 mil­li­on pro­ject, which begins in ear­ly 2021, will result in the crea­ti­on of the lar­gest and most power­ful super­com­pu­ter in the country.

Sup­por­ting sci­en­tists from over 100 edu­ca­ti­on and rese­arch insti­tu­ti­ons throughout the Nether­lands, the super­com­pu­ter will power high­ly com­plex cal­cu­la­ti­ons in life-enhan­cing work across all fiel­ds of sci­ence inclu­ding meteo­ro­lo­gy, astro­phy­sics, medi­cal and social sci­en­ces, and mate­ri­als and earth sci­en­ces, such as cli­ma­te chan­ge research.

Exp­lai­ning the signi­fi­can­ce of this col­la­bo­ra­ti­on, and the bene­fits to be pas­sed on to rese­arch pro­jects, Wal­ter Lio­en, Rese­arch Ser­vices Mana­ger at SURF, said: “The need of rese­ar­chers for com­pu­ting power, data sto­rage and pro­ces­sing is gro­wing expo­nen­ti­al­ly. In the design of the new super­com­pu­ter, the usa­bi­li­ty for sci­en­ti­fic rese­arch was para­mount.
