Earlier this week CSC in Finland announced that Atos will build it’s next-generation supercomputer for academic research.
The initial delivery will consist of the first partition of the supercomputer and its tightly integrated fast storage. The solution is based on next-generation Intel Xeon processors, code named Cascade Lake, and HDR InfiniBand interconnect from Mellanox. Simultaneously, a new data management environment, based on CEPH object storage technology with novel features for data management and sharing, will be commissioned. Additionally, there will be an AI partition and a fast disk system for the needs of AI research.
The first phase of the new machine will be available for customers in the summer of 2019.
