Lenovo to build a 13-Pflops supercomputer in the Netherlands with AMD EPYC Rome and Milan and NVIDIA A100 accelerators
Lenovo Data Center Group (DCG), a data center business unit, has announced a new € 20 million high-performance computing (HPC) project built in the Netherlands.
We are talking about SURF – the Dutch Association of Educational and Research Institutions’ supercomputer infrastructure for the Development of Information and Communication Technologies. The future supercomputer will be the most powerful in the country. The platform will be based on Lenovo ThinkSystem servers based on AMD EPYC Rome and Milan processors.
It talks about using the NVIDIA HGX A100 (4-GPU) platform to work with artificial intelligence and machine learning systems. The peak performance will be 13 petaflops. The complex provides for the use of liquid cooling based on Lenovo Neptune technology. Its application will significantly reduce power consumption at peak values of system performance.
It is also noted that NVIDIA Mellanox HDR InfiniBand (200 Gbps) smart switches, which support in-network computing, will provide the lowest latency and high network throughput.
