Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens for the delivery of clues on the way! CTOnews.com, June 25, Intel recently announced that the supercomputer Aurora has been installed at Argonne National Laboratory, which can provide 2 Exaflops of FP64 computing power, and will become the first supercomputer in the world to calculate 20 billion times per second.

▲ source: Intel Aurora, powered by Intel Xeon CPU Max and Xeon GPU Max chips, has been upgraded to 2 Exaflop computing power compared to the original 1 Exaflop target, putting it on a par with AMD chip-based Frontier supercomputers (CTOnews.com Note: the latter is the most powerful supercomputer ever announced on earth).

▲ source: Intel revealed that the Aurora supercomputer has a total of 10624 nodes, including 21248 Xeon CPU based on the Sapphire Rapids-SP series and 63744 GPU based on Ponte Vecchio design. The system provides peak bandwidth of 2.12 PB/s and peak binary bandwidth of 0.69 PB/s.

▲ source: Intel CTOnews.com notes that the Aurora supercomputer is equipped with up to 20.42 PB of memory, including 10.9 PB DDR5 DRAM, 1.36 PB CPU HBM and 8.16 PB GPU HBM.

▲ source: Intel that is to say, this system DRAM achieves the peak bandwidth of 5.95PB/s, CPU HBM provides the peak bandwidth of 30.5PB/s, and GPU HBM is the peak bandwidth of 208.9PB/s. In terms of storage, the system is equipped with 230PB DAOS capacity and runs at a peak bandwidth of 31 TB / s, with a total of 1024 nodes configured.

▲ source: Jeff McVeigh, vice president and director of supercomputing at Intel, pointed out that Aurora is the first deployment of Intel Max series GPU, which is not only the world's largest Xeon Max CPU-based system, but also the world's largest GPU cluster.
