Hawk is the first zen-based supercomputer 2
Table of contents:
Last week AMD announced its second-generation EPYC processors, codenamed Rome. These new processors are expected to be officially announced next year, but they will feature up to 64 Zen 2 cores, with eight 7nm chiplets surrounding a 14nm central controller. Hawk is the first Zen 2 based supercomputer.
Hawk will be a monster with 640, 000 Zen 2 cores
This week is the annual supercomputing conference, which focuses on high-performance computing, where all the major original equipment manufacturers with server offerings, as well as supercomputing centers, can promote their latest innovations. One of them is the High Performance Computing Center based in Stuttgart, Germany, which revealed some information about its new "Hawk" system. The first supercomputer to be used by AMD's upcoming EPYC Rome processors is the HLRS- based "Hawk, " which will be installed in 2019.

HLRS Director Professor Michael Resch elaborated on the Hawk in a talk at the AMD booth. The slide describes Hawk as a 640, 000-core system that uses 64-core CPUs. That adds up to no less than 10, 000 EPYC Zen 2 processors, listed at a performance of 24.06 PetaFLOPs, this translates to 2.4 TeraFLOPS per CPU for the 2.35 GHz frequency mentioned in the slide. This appears to be a base frequency, although current AMD Naples processors offer a "constant frequency" mode to ensure consistent performance. The main memory was cataloged as 665 TB, with 26 PB of disk space. The breakdown of how it splits between NAND and HDD was not disclosed.
AMD has been going strong with Zen 2 and its new chiplet-based EPYC, a revolutionary design that can turn the sector upside down.
