New Atos accelerator blade allows JUWELS BullSequana technique to turn out to be the most potent supercomputer in Europe
Paris, France, May well fourteen 2020
Atos, a international chief in electronic transformation, nowadays announces its new BullSequana X2415, the very first supercomputer in Europe to integrate NVIDIA’s Ampere subsequent-era graphics processing unit architecture, the NVIDIA® A100 Tensor Main GPU. This new supercomputer blade will produce unprecedented computing ability to increase software performance for HPC and AI workloads, tackling the challenges of the exascale era. The BullSequana X2415 blade will increase computing ability by far more than 2* and optimize electrical power intake many thanks to Atos’ a hundred% very productive water-cooled patented DLC (Direct Liquid Cooling) option, which takes advantage of warm water to awesome the device.

Forschungszentrum Jülich will integrate this new blade into its booster module, extending its present JUWELS BullSequana supercomputer, earning it the very first technique throughout the world the use this new engineering. The JUWELS Booster will provide researchers throughout Europe with significantly increased computational resources. Some of the assignments it will fuel are the European Commission’s Human Brain Project and the Jülich Laboratories of “Climate Science” and “Molecular Systems”. When thoroughly deployed this summer time the upgraded supercomputing technique, operated underneath ParTec’s program ParaStation Modulo, is expected to provide a computational peak performance of far more than 70 Petaflops/s earning it the most potent supercomputer in Europe and a showcase for European exascale architecture.
“By integrating the most effective systems offered, including this most current blade from Atos which contains NVIDIA’s potent A100 GPU into our supercomputer, we are in a position to increase our supercomputing ability. This is an critical milestone on our route to access our ultimate goal of furnishing exascale abilities to science and business” reported Prof. Thomas Lippert, Director of the Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC).
“We’re happy to be 1 of the very first supercomputer makers throughout the world to incorporate NVIDIA’s A100 GPU and to be in a position to provide researchers throughout the world the optimum software performance for their HPC and AI workloads” reported Agnès Boudot, Senior Vice President, Head of HPC & Quantum at Atos. “We’re actually fired up to be functioning with Jülich to increase its computing ability and to permit its JUWELS technique to turn out to be the most potent supercomputer in Europe.”
“Atos is 1 of the top rated gamers world-vast in the substantial conclude of the server marketplace. It is the major European-dependent vendor of HPC units, mostly thanks to the performance and ability of its BullSequana units, its potent technological skills and innovation and its potential to correctly handle huge-scale assignments globally. It has doubled its existence in the TOP500 ranking around the last 5 several years and its server marketplace share throughout the world carries on to expand. We see Atos as 1 of the key supercomputing makers that will possible advantage around the subsequent couple several years as desire for exascale units gets to be far more important.” said Steve Conway, Senior Advisor at Hyperion Research.
The new blade capabilities an NVIDIA HGX-A100 base-board outfitted with 4 NVIDIA A100 GPUs connected by using third-era NVIDIA NVLink™ engineering, along with two AMD EPYC CPUs and up to 4 NVIDIA Mellanox InfiniBand ports connected by using a Dragonfly+ configuration. The NVIDIA Ampere architecture is a groundbreaking engineering achievement that delivers a huge performance advancement around the former era for AI education and inference. The NVIDIA A100 Tensor Main GPU capabilities the world’s largest seven-nanometer processor, with far more than fifty four billion transistors. This crew of systems, alongside with the NVIDIA marketplace-major ecosystem of around seven-hundred GPU-accelerated HPC programs and assistance from NGC, will let researchers to hit the floor operating with containerized program optimized for the advancement and deployment of GPU-accelerated HPC and AI assignments.
The BullSequana X2415 will be offered in Q2 of 2020.
