Italian energy giant Eni will build a new generation of supercomputer HPC6: AMD CPU + GPU, which is expected to rank among the top five in the world in computing power

According to news from this site on January 30, Italian energy giant Eni Group recently announced that it will build a new HPC6 supercomputer. The supercomputer will be built based on AMD EPYC CPU and Instinct MI250X GPU. Upon completion, the theoretical peak computing power will reach 600 PFlop / s, and the sustained peak computing power will also be 400 PFlop / s. can be ranked in the existing Top500 list To the fifth.

After inquiry, we learned that Eni Group is one of the world's traditional large oil companies and one of the three largest companies in Italy. It is understood that the company is approximately 30% owned by the Italian government.

Eni Group’s current two supercomputers have entered the Top500 supercomputer list: The previous HPC5 and HPC4 ranked 21st and 65th respectively in the latest list. The theoretical peak computing power of HPC5 is 51.72 PFlop/s, which means that the new generation of HPC6 systems will jump by an order of magnitude in computing power.

Eni said in a press release that the HPC6 supercomputer will be built by HPE. The supercomputer will include 3,472 computing nodes, each computing node includes a 64-core AMD EPYC processor and 4 AMD Instinct MI250X GPUs, a total of 13,888 GPUs. The maximum energy consumption of HPC6 is only 10.17 MVA and uses direct liquid cooling.

The above is the detailed content of Italian energy giant Eni will build a new generation of supercomputer HPC6: AMD CPU + GPU, which is expected to rank among the top five in the world in computing power. For more information, please follow other related articles on the PHP Chinese website!
