From climate and weather to scientific research, Switzerland's Alps supercomputer, France's EXA1-HE supercomputer and other energy-efficient systems will provide 200 exaflops of AI for groundbreaking research. .
NVIDIA Grace Hopper Superchip
HAMBURG, Germany, May 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ISC-In a radical shift toward AI-powered systems in the high-performance computing industry, NVIDIA today announced that nine new supercomputers are in use worldwide. NVIDIA Grace Hopper™ Superchips Accelerating scientific research and discovery. Combined, the systems provide 200 exaflops, or 200 quintillion calculations per second, of energy-efficient AI processing power.
New Grace Hopper-based supercomputers coming online include the EXA1-HE from CEA and Eviden in France. Academic Computer Center Cyfronet in Helios, Poland, from Hewlett-Packard Enterprise (HPE); Alps at the Swiss National Supercomputing Center, from HPE; JUPITER at Jülich Supercomputing Center, Germany; Delta AI at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign's National Center for Supercomputing Applications; and Miyabi at Japan's Joint Center for Advanced High Performance Computing—established between the Center for Computational Sciences at the University of Tsukuba and the Information Technology Center at the University of Tokyo.
CEA, the French Alternative Energy and Atomic Energy Commission, and Eviden, an Atos Group company, announced in April the delivery of the EXA1-HE supercomputer based on Eviden's BullSequana XH3000 technology. The BullSequana XH3000 architecture features a new, patented hot water cooling system, while the EXA1-HE is equipped with 477 compute nodes based on a grease hopper.
“AI is accelerating research on climate change, accelerating drug discovery and driving breakthroughs in dozens of other fields,” said Ian Buck, vice president of hyperscale and HPC at NVIDIA. Is.” “NVIDIA Grace Hopper-powered systems are becoming an integral part of HPC to transform industries by driving their improved energy efficiency.”
In addition, Isambard-AI and Isambard 3 from the University of Bristol in the UK and systems from Los Alamos National Laboratory and the Texas Advanced Computing Center in the US are joining the growing wave of NVIDIA Arm-based supercomputers that use Grace CPU superchips and Grace Hopper platform.
Autonomous AI
The drive to build new, more efficient, AI-based supercomputers is gaining momentum as countries around the world recognize its strategic and cultural importance. Autonomous AI – Investing in home-owned and hosted data, infrastructure and workforce to foster innovation.
Bringing together the arm-based NVIDIA Grace CPU and NVIDIA Hopper™ GPU architecture NVIDIA NVLink®-C2C interconnect technologyThe GH200 serves as the engine behind scientific supercomputing centers around the world. Many centers are planning to go from system installation to real science in months rather than years.
Isambard-AI Phase One consists of an HPE Cray EX2500 supercomputer with 168 NVIDIA GH200 Superchips, making it one of the most efficient supercomputers ever built. When the remaining 5,280 NVIDIA Grace Hopper Superchips arrive at the University of Bristol's National Composites Center this summer, performance will increase by about 32x.
Simon McIntosh Smith, Professor of High Performance Computing at the University of Bristol, said: “Isambard-AI positions the UK as a world leader in AI, and will help to promote new science innovations both locally and internationally. ” “Working with NVIDIA, we delivered the first phase of the project in record time, and when it was completed this summer it advanced the fields of data analytics, drug discovery, climate research and many others. will see a massive leap in performance for
