Video: HAWK Supercomputer Installation at HLRS
March 8, 2020 by
In this video, technicians install the new Hawk supercomputer at HLRS in Stuttgart, Germany. “At time of installation, Hawk is among the fastest high-performance computers in the world and the fastest general-purpose machine for industrial production in Europe. In concert with our other platforms for high-performance data analytics and artificial intelligence, Hawk enables HLRS to support new kinds of workflows that combine data generation, simulation, big data analysis, deep learning, and other data science methods.”
HLRS Inaugurates Hawk Supercomputer from HPE
February 20, 2020 by
HLRS officially dedicated their new Hawk supercomputer computer this week at a ceremony in Stuttgart, Germany. With a peak performance of approximately 26 Petaflops, Hawk is an HPE Apollo 9000 System and is among the fastest supercomputers worldwide and the fastest general purpose system for scientific and industrial computing in Europe. “Computers like Hawk are tools for advanced research in the sciences and in industry,” said Parliamentary State Secretary Dr. Michael Meister. “They enable excellent science and innovation, and solidify Germany’s international position as a top location for supercomputing.”
Fujitsu to Productize Post-K Supercomputer Technologies
April 15, 2019 by
Today Fujitsu announced that it has completed the design of Post-K supercomputer for deployment at RIKEN in Japan. While full-production of the full machine is not scheduled until 2021-2022, Fujitsu disclosed plans to productize the Post-K technologies and begin global sales in the second half of fiscal 2019. “Reaching the production milestone marks a significant achievement for Post-K and we are excited to see the potential for broader deployment of Arm-based Fujitsu technologies in support of HPC and AI applications.”
Video: The Game Changing Post-K Supercomputer for HPC, Big Data, and Ai
March 13, 2019 by
Satoshi Matsuoka from RIKEN gave this talk at the Rice Oil & Gas Conference. “Rather than to focus on double precision flops that are of lesser utility, rather Post-K, especially its Arm64fx processor and the Tofu-D network is designed to sustain extreme bandwidth on realistic applications including those for oil and gas, such as seismic wave propagation, CFD, as well as structural codes, besting its rivals by several factors in measured performance. Post-K is slated to perform 100 times faster on some key applications c.f. its predecessor, the K-Computer, but also will likely to be the premier big data and AI/ML infrastructure.”
Mellanox Powers New Hawk Supercomputer at HLRS with 200 Gigabit HDR InfiniBand
January 8, 2019 by
Today Mellanox announced that its 200 Gigabit HDR InfiniBand solutions were selected to accelerate a world-leading supercomputer at HLRS in Germany.
