Amd will mount the cray shasta supercomputer for the us navy dsrc with 290,304 epyc cores
AMD continues to show its muscle to the world of computing, and yesterday won another great victory in the design that it proposed for the new supercomputer Cray Shasta that will be used by the DSRC of the United States Navy. Do not miss its specifications because they are heart attack.
To this will be added a total of 590 Terabytes of RAM and 14 Petabytes of useful storage. Of which, 1 Petabyte of solid state storage is included working on NVMe, which would come to be 1024 1 TB SSDs. A Slingshot network that makes up the Cray Shasta is the one that will ensure that all the components communicate with each other at a speed of 200 Gigabits per second (Gbps).
And why do they want such a beast? Well, among other things, the DSRC is a center that is in charge of studying and performing climate and ocean models by NMOC. This helps meteorologists and oceanographers to predict the environmental conditions that the Navy fleet will encounter. With it, they will try to improve the weather forecast models to in turn improve the prediction of the intensity and course of the hurricanes that hit the coasts of the USA. The USA is one of the main concerns of the country.
The Cray Shasta will be operational in early 2021, although this time we have preferred not to review it. It is not a secret that more and more organizations and companies are opting for EPYC processors for their servers and supercomputers.
TechPowerUp Font7nm amd epyc will be used in a finnish supercomputer with 200,000 cores
The CSC will use the 7nm EPYC 'Rome' chips, which together will add about 200,000 cores for its new supercomputer.
Ps4k will have a polaris gpu with 2,304 cores
PS4K will use an Ellesmere-based Polaris GPU and offer much better performance than the current PS4 for smoother gaming.
Mount & blade ii will be optimized for cpus of 6 cores or more
Mount & Blade II will be heavily CPU dependent and will take full advantage of those processors with more than 4 cores.
