Spoiler Alert: Lenovo is Still the #1 Global Provider of Supercomputers
June 5, 2023

For the last five years, Lenovo has been the top provider on the TOP500 list of supercomputers, and the release of the June 2023 list during ISC23 was no different. With a whopping 168 Lenovo ThinkSystems (that’s 33% of the list), the company’s reach is widespread – reaching 19 different global markets from Australia to the United States and many more between. Additionally, sitting atop the Green500 list as the world’s most energy efficient supercomputer, is Flatiron Institute’s Henri system, built on Lenovo
technology.


Sustainability and Energy Efficiency Found to be of Strategic Importance for HPC Datacenters
May 22, 2023

A new global high performance computing (HPC) study by Hyperion Research sponsored by Dell Technologies, Intel, and NVIDIA finds evidence of a remarkable rise of sustainability and energy efficiency to the top of priority lists for many HPC datacenter procurement plans, second only to performance, even more imperative than price. A culmination of several geopolitical factors and HPC utilization trends in recent years has made the issue of sustainability unavoidable for many HPC sites.

The List

06/2023 Highlights

  • Frontier is the No. 1 system in the TOP500. This HPE Cray EX system is the first US system with a performance exceeding one Exaflop/s. It is installed at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in Tennessee, USA, where it is operated for the Department of Energy (DOE). It currently has achieved 1.194 Exaflop/s using 8,699,904 cores. The HPE Cray EX architecture combines 3rd Gen AMD EPYC™ CPUs optimized for HPC and AI, with AMD Instinct™ 250X accelerators, and Slingshot-11 interconnect.

  • Fugaku, the No. 2 system, is installed at the RIKEN Center for Computational Science (R-CCS) in Kobe, Japan. It has 7,630,848 cores which allowed it to achieve an HPL benchmark score of 442 Pflop/s.

  • The LUMI system, another HPE Cray EX system installed at EuroHPC center at CSC in Finland is the No. 3 with a performance of 309.1 Pflop/s. The European High-Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) is pooling European resources to develop top-of-the-range Exascale supercomputers for processing big data. One of the pan-European pre-Exascale supercomputers, LUMI, is located in CSC’s data center in Kajaani, Finland.

  • The No. 4 system Leonardo is installed at a different EuroHPC site in CINECA, Italy. It is an Atos BullSequana XH2000 system with Xeon Platinum 8358 32C 2.6GHz as main processors, NVIDIA A100 SXM4 40 GB as accelerators, and Quad-rail NVIDIA HDR100 Infiniband as interconnect.
