University of Stuttgart and Leibniz Supercomputing Centre select the new HPE Cray Supercomputing GX5000 platform, validating industry leadership innovation in the new solutions
Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development LP announced the newest additions to the next-generation HPE Cray supercomputing portfolio that provide industry-leading compute density 1, designed to meet the needs of AI demands while performing at-scale.
This HPE Cray Supercomputing portfolio expansion includes three multi-partner, multi-workload compute blades, unified management software and high-performance interconnect support, establishing one of the most powerful supercomputing architectures in the industry for research laboratories, sovereign entities and large enterprises that are increasingly turning to AI to advance their simulations and drive scientific discovery.
“Global organizations relying on supercomputing are looking for better computing performance for all of their workloads,” said Trish Damkroger, SVP and GM, HPC and AI infrastructure solutions, HPE. “Our new HPE Cray Supercomputing platform is the answer to customers’ needs for higher performance density with a unified AI and HPC architecture that is engineered for groundbreaking outcomes. HPE is proud to share our unwavering commitment to AI and supercomputing as the engine of innovation and scientific discovery, advancing the way people live and work.”
This portfolio expansion is a follow up to last month’s debut of HPE Cray Supercomputing GX5000 that is purpose-built to enable supercomputing breakthroughs in the converged AI and HPC era. The platform is augmented by the new HPE Cray Supercomputing Storage Systems K3000, which is the industry’s first factory-built storage system with embedded Distributed Asynchronous Object Storage (DAOS) open source software for increased performance 2.
Next-Gen HPE Cray Platform Sees Rapid Industry Adoption
The High-Performance Computing Center of the University of Stuttgart (HLRS) and Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ) of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities have selected the HPE Cray Supercomputing GX5000 as the platform for their next generation supercomputers. This next-generation supercomputing portfolio is already gaining traction among some of the world’s highest performing supercomputers, including the upcoming Herder supercomputer from HLRS and Blue Lion supercomputer from LRZ, enabling each customer to unlock new scientific horizons.
“As the builder of HLRS’s Hawk and Hunter supercomputers, HPE has for years been an excellent partner for HLRS,” said Prof. Dr.-Ing. Michael Resch, director, HLRS. “HPE’s supercomputer systems and expert support have directly enhanced the ability of our scientific and industrial user communities to make novel scientific discoveries and design better technologies. As we look forward to the arrival of Herder, we are excited to begin the next stage of this cooperation with HPE. The GX5000 platform will offer our users a major leap in performance for simulation and artificial intelligence, as well as improved energy efficiency – a primary concern at our HPC center.”
“At LRZ, our mission is to deliver world-class high-performance computing that drives research with global impact, while ensuring our supercomputers operate efficiently and sustainably,” said Prof. Dr. Dieter Kranzlmüller, chairman of the board of directors, LRZ.
