The Multi-phase supercomputer system program
will enhance High Performance Computing (HPC) and Artificial
Intelligence (AI) research, providing 5x higher performance
capacity for Finnish scientists and researchers
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
multi-phase supercomputer system by CSC – the Finnish IT Center for
Science. The new supercomputers, set to be deployed in 2019 and
2020, will serve the Finnish researchers in universities and
research institutes, enhancing climate, renewable energy,
astrophysics, nanomaterials and bioscience, among a wide range of
exploration activities. The Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI)
will have their own separate partition for diverse simulation
tasks ranging from ocean fluxes to atmospheric
modeling and space physics.
CSC selected the HDR InfiniBand interconnect solution for its
fast data throughout, extremely low latency, smart In-Network
Computing acceleration engines, and enhanced Dragonfly network
topology. These advantages will provide CSC and FMI users with
world-leading HPC and AI application performance, scalability and
efficiency.
“The multi-phase, multi-year supercomputing program will enable
our researchers and scientists to leverage the most efficient HPC
and AI platforms to enhance their discoveries and competitiveness
for years to come,” said Pekka Lehtovuori, Director of services for
research at CSC. “By utilizing HDR InfiniBand In-Network Computing
acceleration engines, and the innovative Dragonfly network topology
design, we will provide our users with a world-leading performance
and scalability system and optimize our total cost of
ownership.”
200 Gigabit HDR InfiniBand In-Network Computing acceleration
engines provide leading performance, scalability, efficiency and
resiliency for HPC and AI applications. For example, Mellanox
Scalable Hierarchical Aggregation and Reduction Protocol (SHARP)™
technology enables the execution of data algorithms on the data as
it traverses within the network, and Mellanox SHIELD™ technology
enables self-healing interconnect capabilities. These advantages,
together with its high data throughput and extremely low latency,
make InfiniBand the preferred interconnect choice for
next-generation supercomputing platforms.
“We are excited to collaborate with Atos, the system provider,
and CSC to enhance research and explorations in Finland,” said
Gilad Shainer, vice president of marketing at Mellanox
Technologies. “HDR InfiniBand will provide CSC users with the
highest productivity and overall return on investment.”
“As the leading supercomputer manufacturer in Europe, we are
delighted to work with Mellanox and CSC to supply our latest
BullSequana XH2000 supercomputer, giving Finnish researchers an
enhanced computing capacity for new innovation breakthroughs,” said
Agnès Boudot, Group vice president, Head of HPC at Atos.
