The June 2019 TOP500 update released in the Worldwide Supercomputing Conference in Frankfurt includes multiple Dell EMC supercomputing clusters.
High-performance computing is definitely a global competition, with nations and research-oriented institutions pitted against each other inside a race to determine that has the quickest and many amazing supercomputers - and also the respect that is included with operating a number one-edge system. Which makes sense, just because a blazingly fast supercomputer is definitely an indicator of support for world-class research along with a dedication to scientific discovery.
Although this is an amiable competition, it's a competition nevertheless, and one that's fun to celebrate with every update towards the TOP500 and that iOrO500 lists, which rank the speeds of computers, along with the Green500 list, which ranks supercomputers according to energy-efficiency.
At Dell EMC, we always get excited to determine our customers’ names on these lists. That’s the situation once more, with discharge of the brand new the TOP500 list. One of the Dell EMC systems that made their email list are three new supercomputers that debuted in 2018 or 2019. Our hats off and away to these organizations, in addition to our HPC customers whose systems show up on the TOP500 list.
Texas Advanced Computing Center
The Frontera supercomputer in the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) in the College of Texas was rated at No. 5 around the new TOP500 list. Frontera leverages Dell EMC PowerEdge C6420 servers and Dell EMC Isilon unstructured data storage solutions in conjunction with second-generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable Platinum processors, Intel® Optane™ Electricity Persistent Memory, CoolIT Systems high-density Direct Contact Liquid Cooling and-performance Mellanox HDR 200Gb/s InfiniBand interconnect. The machine has as many as 448,448 cores.
Frontera - the Spanish word for “frontier” - will fuel important advances in most fields of science, from astrophysics to zoology. The machine, constructed with support in the National Science Foundation, will arm researchers from round the country using the HPC sources they have to run demanding workloads like analyses of particle collisions in the Large Hadron Collider, global climate modeling, improved hurricane forecasting and multi-messenger astronomy.
Mississippi Condition College
The Orion supercomputer at Mississippi Condition College was rated at No. 62 around the TOP500 list. Orion is dependant on Dell EMC PowerEdge C6420 servers, Apple Xeon Gold processors and InfiniBand HDR. With 67,240 cores, the machine will give you researchers using the additional HPC capacity they have to run bigger, more complicated, and much more detailed simulations and models. Orion will support advanced development and research activities inside a wide range of areas, including ecological modeling, cyber security, and autonomous vehicle design and operation.
Simon Fraser College/Compute Canada
The Cedar plank-2 supercomputer from Simon Fraser College/Compute Canada arrived at No. 256 around the TOP500 list. Cedar plank-2 is made with Dell EMC PowerEdge C6320/C6420 servers, Apple Xeon Platinum processors as well as an Intel® Omni-Path Architecture (Apple OPA®) interconnect. The machine has 55,296 cores.
Along with a little nearer to home…
And, obviously, at Dell EMC we're very happy to see our in-house HPC clusters within the mix using these leading-edge systems. Our Zenith supercomputer, from your HPC and AI Innovation Lab, was rated at No. 383 around the new TOP500 list. Zenith is dependant on Dell EMC PowerEdge C6420/C6320p servers, Apple Xeon and Apple Xeon Phi processors, as well as an Apple OPA interconnect.
