Archer2 and amd team up: English supercomputer will use amd epyc
Table of contents:
At this point of the year, it is inevitable to think that AMD has achieved great popularity and news like the following only feed it. According to official sources, the ARCHER2 supercomputer will be powered by AMD EPYC processors, something that benefits the company's public image.
ARCHER2
The British Innovation and Development team (UKRI) recently announced that their ARCHER2 supercomputer would use AMD EPYCs as the base. This group is made up of researchers from different parts of the world and they stand out for being an Almost Autonomous Non-Governmental Organization (QuANGO, in English).
This new machine will have 5, 848 nodes, 748, 544 cores, and around 1.57 PetaBytes of combined memory for the system. This gives each node access to 128 Zen 2 cores thanks to two AMD EPYC ROME processors running at 2.2 GHz in parallel. If we put it in perspective, thanks to this AMD has sold 12, 000 top units to a single buyer.
The ARCHER2 supercomputer will be built at the University of Edinburgh reaching up to 28 PetaFLOPs of peak performance. It is expected to be operational by May 2020 and the first thing it will go through is a stress test before it becomes fully operational. Its predecessor, the original ARCHER will stop working on February 18, 2020 .
Performance wise , it is expected to deliver better workload performance for CP2K, Open SBLI, CASTEP GROMACS and HadGEM3 with improvements between x8.7 and x18.0.
Hardware Specifications:
- 28 PetaFLOP / s peak performance 5, 848 compute nodes each with two AMD Rome 64 processors at 2.2GHz 23x Shasta Mountain direct coolant booths 14.5 PetaBytes of Luster working storage in 4 system files 1.1 PetaByte all-flash Gloss BurstBuffer on 1 + 1 system files PetaByte of system root files in Disaster Recovery configuration using NetApp FAS8200 Shasta River Racks for management and post-processing Test and Development System (TDS) platform Collaboration platform with 4x compute nodes connected to 16x GPU AMD next-door generation
