Munich (Germany), Paris
(France) – January
13 2022 – Atos
today announces that it has been awarded a new contract to supply
and install a new supercomputing cluster at Technische Universität
Dresden (TU) in Germany. The supercomputer will be used for data
intensive HPC tasks and data analysis at the Center for Information
Services and High-Performance Computing (ZIH). Based on Atos’
powerful BullSequana XH2000 architecture, researchers at TU Dresden
will use the new supercomputer for computational tasks in
environmental research, life sciences, materials sciences and
engineering, as well as for basic research in physics, chemistry
and mathematics. It is scheduled to start operations in autumn
2022.
"We are pleased to continue to support TU
Dresden with HPC expertise via our BullSequana XH2000
installation and to continue to enable cutting-edge research. The
new system is extremely energy efficient thanks to our patented and
world leading warm water cooling solution," says Dr. Martin
Matzke, Senior Vice President Big Data & Security at Atos
Central Europe.
"In addition to the innovative hot water
cooling, which will lead to an encouraging increase in the energy
efficiency of the system, the balanced architecture and the
exceptionally powerful infrastructure for the fast input/output of
data are to be highlighted, which sustainably advance important
research fields of ours such as modeling, simulation, and data
analytics," explains Prof. Dr. Wolfgang E. Nagel, TU
Dresden/ZIH.
HPC
energy-efficiency to
support ecological
sustainabilityThe new supercomputer features Atos’
water-cooled patented Direct Liquid Cooling (DLC) solution, which
uses 35°C warm water to cool the system. This feature enables TU
Dresden to minimize the energy consumption of the cooling and at
the same time benefit from processors with the highest compute
performance. The lost heat from the BullSequana XH2000 systems will
be used to heat surrounding buildings and thus has a positive
contribution towards the ecological sustainability on TU Dresden’s
campus.
This new HPC installation includes more than 600
nodes of Intel's upcoming CPU generation "Sapphire Rapids" with
large main memory and high memory bandwidth. TU Dresden will thus
be able to perform high-quality data analyses and simulations in a
timely and flexible manner.
Atos and TU Dresden have been working together
since 2013 when Atos delivered and installed the "Taurus" HPC
system at ZIH and then the expansion of the system in 2015, whose
energy efficiency has also been the subject of scientific research.
The new HPC system will replace the Taurus.
