A new high performance computing (HPC) cluster has been installed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) in California. The cluster, dubbed Mammoth, was designed in a collaboration between AMD, LLNL researchers, Supermicro and Cornelis Networks. Of particular note with regard to Mammoth is that while this cluster does have plenty of processing power its focus […]
The HPC world, particularly in the U.S. is waiting for the next series of transitions to far larger machines with exascale capabilities. By this time next year, the bi-annual ranking of the top 500 most powerful systems will be refreshed at the top as Frontier, El Capitan, Aurora and other DoE supers come online. In […]
Supermicro has deployed an additional cluster at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) to augment existing computing capabilities available for national security and to help discover therapeutics for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Called the “Ruby” cluster, Supermicro’s TwinPro 2U 4 node servers leverage advanced Second Intel® Xeon® Platinum processors with built-in AI acceleration and have 192 […]
