Los Alamos National Laboratory’s (LANL) new supercomputer will
enable greater efficiency and performance to advance modeling and
simulation, and capabilities for AI and analytics
New supercomputer is part of HPE’s broader collaboration with
LANL which includes next-generation system designs using advanced
technologies from AMD, Arm, Intel and NVIDIA
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE: HPE) today announced it has
expanded its collaboration with the U.S. Department of Energy’s Los
Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) to build LANL a new supercomputer
in early 2023. The new supercomputer builds on to LANL’s latest,
diverse high-performance computing (HPC) system designs, which
include HPE-powered systems using the industry’s leading CPUs and
GPUs to target a range of workloads and R&D. It will be based
on novel technologies using the HPE Cray EX supercomputer, which is
an HPC architecture built from the ground-up for next-generation
supercomputing such as for exascale-class systems, and features the
new Arm-based NVIDIA Grace CPU, designed for larger scale HPC and
AI applications, which was announced today.
LANL’s new, advanced system will deliver overall performance and
workflow efficiency, improving modeling and simulation workloads to
help researchers unlock discoveries across climate, diseases,
materials and even nuclear deterrence. Researchers and engineers
will also use the system’s compute and AI-accelerated capabilities
to expand and strengthen existing efforts in artificial
intelligence and machine learning, which are becoming increasingly
valuable in harnessing insights from complex data.
“HPE has a strong, ongoing collaboration with the U.S.
Department of Energy’s Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) to
support LANL’s commitment to making significant contributions to
the scientific community with advanced HPC systems using diverse
architectures. These designs demonstrate the powerful flexibility
and scale that HPE’s systems offer in supporting various CPU and
GPU technologies built for tomorrow’s most demanding supercomputing
workloads,” said Bill Mannel, vice president and general manager,
HPC, at HPE. “We are pleased to continue collaborating with LANL to
design a new system that offers greater performance, efficiency and
workload optimization to target specific R&D needs and unlock a
new level of innovation.”
Los Alamos National Laboratory and HPE expand the value of
high performance computing with purpose-built systems using
advanced, diverse architectures
LANL’s upcoming system showcases ongoing innovation for HPC and
AI workloads by introducing new, diverse sets of architectures that
are developed for specific R&D and engineering needs. The new
system adds to LANL’s existing system designs that are powered by
HPE’s world-leading HPC and AI platforms, which combine a
comprehensive suite of compute, software, storage and networking
solutions, and use the industry’s most advanced CPUs. LANL’s
additional system designs, announced in the last six months,
include:
- Continuing the fight against COVID-19 to support complex
scientific research on the novel coronavirus with LANL’s
Chicoma, which is based on the HPE Cray EX supercomputer, featuring
the AMD EPYC™ 7H12 processor. The system will also include the HPE
Cray software stack, direct-to-chip liquid cooling capabilities and
the HPE Slingshot interconnect for purpose-built HPC
networking.
- Advancing U.S. nuclear stockpile and security with
Crossroads, a system that is part of the Alliance for Computing at
Extreme Scale (ACES), a consortium between Los Alamos National
Laboratory and Sandia National Laboratories. It will be sited at
Los Alamos and will be used by the three National Nuclear Security
Administration (NNSA) laboratories: Lawrence Livermore National
Laboratory, Los Alamos National Laboratory and Sandia National
Laboratories. Crossroads will have quadrupled performance, compared
to its existing system (Trinity), by using the HPE Cray EX
supercomputer featuring future Intel Xeon processors code-named
“Sapphire Rapids” for powerful next-generation compute and
AI-accelerated capabilities. The system will target critical
modeling and simulation of nuclear weapons at high 3D resolutions
to ensure reliability and security of the nuclear stockpile.
- Evaluating some of the world’s most demanding physical
simulation workloads and accelerating time-to-insight from months
to days in LANL’s system using HPE Apollo 80 Systems that
feature Fujitsu A64FX Arm processors, along with the HPE Cray
Programming Environment for a fully integrated software suite to
improve productivity, application scalability, and performance.
LANL will also leverage the technologies to support its ongoing
commitment to deploying more efficient systems to decrease runtime
of its demanding complex multi-physics applications.
