In dieser Woche gibt es wieder zwei neue Supercomputer auf Basis von AMD-Prozessoren zu vermelden. Zum einem soll in den Niederlanden der neue nationale Supercomputer von Lenovo bis Mitte des Jahres installiert werden und zum anderen wird die im Norden von England gelegene Universität von Durham den Supercomputer COSMA 8 ebenfalls bis Ende 2021 deutlich ausbauen. Beide setzen dabei hauptsächlich auf AMD Epyc 7H12 Prozessoren der zweiten Generation Epyc (“Rome”), allerdings sollen im noch namenlosen niederländischen System wohl auch Epyc Prozessoren der dritten Generation (“Milan”) zum Einsatz kommen.

Lenovo to Power SURF Dutch National Supercomputer
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. SURF has chosen Lenovo because of its quality, performance and future flexibility, as well as its considerations for sustainability.” (…) Weiterlesen »
TOP500 Expands Exaflops Capacity Amidst Low Turnover
FRANKFURT, Germany; BERKELEY, Calif.; and KNOXVILLE, Tenn.—The 56th edition of the TOP500 saw the Japanese Fugaku supercomputer solidify its number one status in a list that reflects a flattening performance growth curve. Although two new systems managed to make it into the top 10, the full list recorded the smallest number of new entries since the project began in 1993.
The entry level to the list moved up to 1.32 petaflops on the High Performance Linpack (HPL) benchmark, a small increase from 1.23 petaflops recorded in the June 2020 rankings. In a similar vein, the aggregate performance of all 500 systems grew from 2.22 exaflops in June to just 2.43 exaflops on the latest list. Likewise, average concurrency per system barely increased at all, growing from 145,363 cores six months ago to 145,465 cores in the current list. (…) Weiterlesen »
