HE frontier supercomputerAnnounced with technology in 2019 OH MY GODwas the first to cross the barrier extreme scalereaching the mark 1.1 exaflops During Linpack FP64 testing. The success was announced by the company Monday (30).
With more than double the performance offered by the former leader of the Top 500 standings, AMD Limit took over world’s fastest supercomputer. Chinese machines Tianhe-3 and OceanLight claim to have crossed the line last year, but in unofficial tests.
The manufacturer also revealed that the equipment was able to deliver 1.69 exaflops at maximum performance, reaching 2 exaflops after some adjustments. It’s worth noting that an exaflop is the equivalent. 1 quintillion floating point operation per second.
According to the company, the machine is equipped with 3rd Gen AMD EPYC CPUs also has fastest artificial intelligence system on the planet, with 6.88 exaflops in the HPL-AI comparison. Another title earned is leadership in the Green 500 list for the most energy efficient architecture, delivering 62.68 gigaflops/watt.
Competition on the road
Established at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), operated by the U.S. Department of Energy frontier supercomputer Has 9,408 processors AMD Trento 64 core. Each chip is accompanied by four AMD Radeon Instinct MI250X GPUs, with 512GB of DDR4 RAM and a total of 4.6 petabytes of RAM.
It also has 700 petabytes of storage and transfers data at a maximum speed of 75 TB/s. Cooling is done with water, which requires 22,000 liters to keep the machine at the ideal temperature.
The model, which should be used by the scientific community by the end of the year, will soon gain a strong competitor. HE Intel Aurora It is expected to deliver 2 exaflops of performance by 2023.
