Atos Unveils Multi-architecture BullSequana XH3000 Supercomputer
Atos BullSequana XH3000
Atos at the moment unveiled BullSequana XH3000 supercomputer, a hybrid computing platform primarily based on the OpenSequana structure enabling the system to be powered by CPUs and GPUs architectures from AMD, Intel, NVIDIA and, ultimately, by the SiPearl European HPC microprocessor. The system is scheduled for availability the fourth quarter of this 12 months.
“Designed and manufactured in Europe at its manufacturing facility in Angers, France, that is Atos‘most effective and highly effective supercomputer and an essential ingredient in securing at the moment’s digital and financial sovereignty,’ Atos mentioned in its announcement. “Because the undisputed European chief in supercomputing, Atos performs a key function in addressing sovereignty points, making certain that key HPC data and expertise are fostered and stay in Europe.”
Atos mentioned the XH3000 delivers as much as a 6x enhance in computing energy per m² in comparison with earlier fashions and is scalable with a configuration from 1PFlops to 1 exaFlops for digital simulation and to 10 exaFlops for AI purposes when next-gen processing items come available on the market . “The system can accommodate processors from AMD, Intel, NVIDIA and the long run European processor EPI, which is able to go as much as 1000W + vs 350W at the moment bringing improved energy capability / efficiency,” the corporate mentioned. And the system helps a number of interconnect networks, akin to BXI, Excessive Velocity Ethernet and HDR & NDR InfiniBand.
Concerning vitality consumption, the XH3000 makes use of 4th Gen Direct Liquid Cooling (DLC), which Atos mentioned delivers greater than 50 % improved cooling energy than earlier generations.
“Because the main European HPC vendor, Atos is effectively positioned to proceed advancing analysis and innovation with its new supercomputer, and to convey exascale class techniques to its clients,” mentioned Earl Joseph, CEO of HPC trade analyst agency Hyperion Analysis. “With its new BullSequana XH3000 supercomputer, hybrid computing ecosystem integrating AI and quantum, and its robust roadmap for exascale, Atos demonstrates a transparent, complete imaginative and prescient of the way forward for scientific simulation, whereas considering the significance of decarbonization.”
