New collaboration involves HPE’s industry-leading, end-to-end
HPC systems and SiPearl’s Rhea CPU to develop and deliver
exascale-era technologies in Europe and strengthen the continent’s
digital sovereignty
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE: HPE) and SiPearl, the company
designing a high-performance and low-power microprocessor for
European exascale supercomputers, today announced a strategic
partnership to jointly develop HPC solutions. The partnership,
which expands heterogenous computing options for supercomputing and
leverages European architectures, will support and accelerate
adoption of exascale systems in Europe.
HPE and SiPearl will jointly develop an end-to-end
supercomputing offering that combines HPE's supercomputing
solutions designed to meet next-generation requirements in
performance and scale, and SiPearl’s upcoming Rhea processor, an
Arm-based CPU, targeted to power exascale performance for European
systems.
The collaboration supports a larger effort and strategy set by
the EuroHPC, an initiative that began in late 2018 between the EU,
European countries and industry technology partners to coordinate
and combine resources to develop pre-exascale and exascale
supercomputers in Europe, and position the continent as a leader in
supercomputing. Additionally, by adopting state-of-the-art
supercomputing solutions, European organizations can fuel national
open science efforts that will have a broader impact on humankind
across areas such as drug discovery, climate modeling and
sustainability.
“The exascale era will enable us to achieve new breakthroughs in
science and engineering by taking advantage of performance and the
integration of new processors. SiPearl’s technology represents a
leap forward in compute performance, while increasing power
efficiency, which is critical for many of our customers,” said
Justin Hotard, executive vice president and general manager, HPC
& AI, HPE. “In addition to our recent investments in a new HPC
factory in Czech Republic and an AI cluster, dedicated to research,
in Grenoble, France, our partnership with SiPearl is another
demonstration of HPE’s ongoing commitment to support Europe’s
mission to deliver world-class supercomputing that extends its
sovereignty and competitiveness on the global stage.”
Accelerating Europe’s roadmap and leadership in exascale with
European-based architectures
By combining SiPearl’s Rhea with HPE’s supercomputing solutions,
HPE and SiPearl will deliver a broad set of advanced HPC and AI
technologies, leveraging the upcoming European processor. These
technologies span capabilities in high-performance networking,
using HPE Slingshot, and a robust software complier and programming
stack leveraging the HPE Cray Programming Environment.
The collaboration also demonstrates the increased value of
developing heterogenous computing solutions, which includes a
growing ecosystem of Arm-based processors, such as SiPearl’s Rhea,
to provide supercomputing options that deliver improved cost and
power consumption.
“We are excited about this business and technology partnership
with the HPC industry leader, HPE, which has just announced plans
to build its first HPC factory in Europe,” said Philippe Notton,
CEO and founder, SiPearl. “With the integration of our Rhea HPC
microprocessor into the HPE portfolio and the creation of a joint
center of excellence in Europe to enable the adoption of our
combined solution by supercomputer end-users, we will drive
innovation in the exascale era.”
Additionally, the partnership will deliver joint HPE and SiPearl
solutions to HPE’s Center of Excellence (CoE) in Grenoble, France,
which is home to France’s semiconductor research, to enable local
access to users to test and optimize their products for market. The
CoE staffs more than 300 engineers, and has a lab presence with
specialists in areas such as energy, medicine, biotechnology,
semiconductor, micro and nanotechnology, and nanoscience.
