AMD EPYC Genoa and Instinct MI300 APUs will power the Atos MPCDF BullSequana XH3000 supercomputer. AMD continues to make headway with its server and supercomputer components.
AMD EPYC Genoa and Instinct MI300 will be part of the BullSequana XH3000
AMD will be the main hardware for another supercomputer, Atos’ BullSequana XH3000, with its “Genoa” generation EPYC processors and new Instinct Mi300 APUs.
The BullSequana XH3000 supercomputer is located in Munich, Germany, and is owned by the Max Planck Society, a leading European research organization for science and technology. You will benefit from this supercomputer for scientific research.
The Max Planck Society supercomputer will have a total of 768 compute nodes and 192 accelerator nodes. The system will be based on the IBM SpectrumScale memory solution. The CPU nodes are scheduled for delivery in the first quarter of this year, while the GPU nodes will be delivered in the first half of 2024.
The new supercomputer, with a total contract value of more than 20 million euros, will be operated by the Max Planck Computing and Data Facility (MPCDF) in Garching near Munich and will provide high-performance computing (HPC) capacity to many institutes of the Max Planck Society. Particularly challenging scientific projects such as astrophysics, life science research, materials research, plasma physics and artificial intelligence will benefit from the new system’s high-performance capabilities.
The supercomputer will feature the latest AMD technology at that time, although the system will not be operational until 2024. For more information on this announcement, please visit the link. We will keep you updated as the news unfolds.
