The New 5000-Node, 24 PetaFLOPs Performance
Supercomputer Will Advance High-Performance Computing (HPC) and
Artificial Intelligence (AI) Research and Development in the Areas
of Energy, Climate, Health and More
Mellanox Technologies, Ltd. (NASDAQ: MLNX), a leading supplier
of high-performance, end-to-end smart interconnect solutions for
data center servers and storage systems, today announced that its
200 Gigabit HDR InfiniBand solutions were selected to accelerate a
world-leading supercomputer at the High-Performance Computer Center
of the University of Stuttgart (HLRS). The 5000-node supercomputer
named “Hawk” will be built in 2019 and provide 24 petaFLOPs of
compute performance. By utilizing the InfiniBand fast data
throughput and the smart In-Network Computing acceleration engines,
HLRS users will be able to achieve the highest HPC and AI
application performance, scalability and efficiency.
The mission of the HLRS Hawk supercomputer is to advance
engineering development and research in the fields of energy,
climate, health and more, and if built today, the new system would
be the world's fastest supercomputer for industrial production.
“HLRS serves a large community of researchers and industrial
product developers across a variety of application domains,” said
Prof. Dr. Michael M. Resch, Director of HLRS. “Our new HDR
InfiniBand-accelerated supercomputer will provide the performance
levels needed to support new scientific investigations and
innovative product designs. We are excited to collaborate with
Mellanox on building a leading European and global supercomputer
and look forward to witnessing the discoveries enabled by this
cooperation.”
200 Gigabit HDR InfiniBand provides leading performance,
scalability, and network robustness advantages. Among them, the
Mellanox Scalable Hierarchical Aggregation and Reduction Protocol
(SHARP)™ technology enables the execution of data algorithms on the
data as it is being transferred within the network, providing the
highest application performance and scalability. The Mellanox
SHIELD™ technology enables self-healing interconnect capabilities
to deliver highest network robustness and reliability. The higher
HDR InfiniBand switch port count reduces total cost of ownership.
These advantages, together with the high data throughput and the
extremely low latency, make InfiniBand the preferred interconnect
choice for both pre-Exascale and Exascale compute and storage
platforms.
“HDR InfiniBand delivers the best performance and scalability
for HPC and AI applications, providing our users with the
capabilities to enhance research, discoveries and product
development,” said Gilad Shainer, vice president of marketing at
Mellanox Technologies. “We are excited to work with HLRS on
building the next generation of supercomputers on the path to
Exascale, a platform that will serve the growing computing needs of
their large community.”
