Atos multiplies supercomputing capacity by 12 at CESGA in Spain with new “Finisterrae III”

Santiago de Compostela (Galicia, Spain), Paris (France) July 29, 2021

Atos has been selected by the Galician Supercomputing Centre (CESGA), to design, provide and set up a new supercomputing technique, named Finisterrae III, based mostly on Atos’ BullSequana X supercomputing architecture, that will multiply the latest capacities of the middle by twelve, whilst offering big storage ability. The contract also incorporates a 30-qubit Atos Quantum Understanding Device (Atos QLM30), which destinations CESGA as a pioneer in Spain in quantum simulation.

CESGA will use the supercomputer for study assignments in collaboration with college and market researchers in Galicia for different strategic places of science and technologies these kinds of as nanotechnology, new products and industrial procedures, well being and everyday living sciences and ocean sciences. It will also market the use of HPC and Large Facts in SMEs.

It will empower customers to undertake new Artificial Intelligence, Device Understanding and Deep Understanding approaches and use these in supercomputing. It will also market Market four. and the Industrial Digital Innovation Hub of Galicia, bringing supercomputing approaches to general public administrations and extending the use of supercomputing to other places of understanding, these kinds of as Social Sciences and Humanities.

The primary design basic principle of the Finisterrae III venture is to deliver a easy, open, economical, flexible, and adaptable infrastructure for unique computational paradigms. In this perception, the venture will deliver accessibility to emerging systems, specifically Quantum Computing, many thanks to the Atos QLM, which will empower technicians, developers, and customers to educate on the equipment.

“We are proud to deliver CESGA with this new supercomputing technique built with the most up-to-date systems which is also a reliable and significant-efficiency resource that contributes to the advancement of science and technologies”, explained Agnès Boudot, Senior Vice President, Head of HPC & Quantum at Atos. “With this new contract Atos confirms its skills in offering significant-efficiency computing answers, opening computing new horizons to the continually demanding demands of our shoppers.”

The targets of CESGA are the universalization of Exploration, Progress and Innovation (R&D&I), facilitating accessibility to these sources to a better selection of entities and firms, as effectively as developing a url concerning places of understanding (mainstreaming) and supporting the growing complexity of investigations.

Quantum simulation

The Atos QLM is a simulator that permits customers to build, enhance and exam quantum purposes. Combining an ultra-compact, significant-driven equipment with a universal programming language. It permits researchers and engineers to build and experiment with quantum program and is the world’s only quantum program enhancement and simulation apparatus. The technique simulates the guidelines of physics, which are at the coronary heart of quantum computing, to work out the correct execution of a quantum application with double-digit precision.

Specialized specs:

Finisterrae III will multiply the computing ability of the past CESGA supercomputer by twelve, offering a computing energy of four PetaFLOPS through 354 computing nodes geared up with most up-to-date technology Intel Xeon Ice Lake 8352Y processors of 32 cores at 2.2GHz.

It also incorporates a full of one hundred forty four GPU accelerators: Nvidia A100 and Nvidia T4 GPU.

Alongside one another, the supercomputer nodes have 118 TB mixture memory and five PB disk storage ability based mostly on NetApp technologies.

Storage – For regional storage, nodes include NVMe SSD reliable state drives, with an mixture ability of 355TB and blazing-rapidly details enter/ output pace. The new technique also has a twenty PB ability lasting details storage subsystem.

Interconnect – The nodes are related by a significant ability, pretty reduced latency Infiniband HDR100 interconnect community.
