Hungary Launches Komondor, Its Maximum Tough Supercomputer

Hungary’s Govt Knowledge Generation Construction Company (KIFÜ) has inaugurated the rustic’s maximum {powerful} supercomputer but: Komondor, named for a perfectly mop-like Hungarian canine breed. The gadget weighs in at an mixture simply over 5 Linpack petaflops.

Komondor (pictured within the header, courtesy of KIFÜ), an HPE-built gadget, is composed of 4 modules. First, the 50-node GPU module, which has one AMD Epyc “Milan” 7763 CPU and quadruple Nvidia A100 GPUs (plus 256GB of reminiscence) on each and every node – this module is estimated at 4 Linpack petaflops. The CPU-only module has 140 nodes, each and every with twin Epyc CPUs and 256GB of reminiscence – this module is estimated at 0.7 Linpack petaflops. Then there are two smaller specialist modules: one dual-node module for AI, with the similar CPUs, however two times the reminiscence and GPUs; and one single-node information analytics module with 12 Intel Xeon Gold 6254 CPUs and 9TB of reminiscence (those latter two modules, respectively, upload 0.3 Linpack petaflops and 21 teraflops to the gadget’s mixture energy). The gadget is networked with HPE Slingshot 11 and supported via just about 12PB of garage.

Some initial model of the gadget – possibly its GPU module – has been benchmarking at the Top500 during the last 12 months, maximum lately coming in 199th with 3.09 Linpack petaflops, however KIFÜ says that set up and trying out of the gadget started in September of ultimate 12 months at KIFÜ Debrecen College. KIFÜ says that the gadget calls for 300kW of energy and is “specifically environmentally pleasant” due to hot-water and passive cooling. The gadget’s waste warmth is reused to warmth the town swimming pool. Waste warmth reuse has turn into increasingly more well-liked in recent times, specifically in the less warm climates and in Europe, the place power costs are dramatically expanding.

“The results of a building strategy of greater than two years is that these days, we will be able to give up Komondor to customers,” stated KIFÜ president Endre Spaller (in translation), marking the inauguration of the gadget. “With this laptop – which additionally has exceptional efficiency on the regional degree – we will be able to perform in-depth analysis comparable to speech and face reputation, local weather analysis, telecommunications, site visitors control, power, manufacturing optimization, pharmaceutical analysis, or precision drugs. Conventional computer systems aren’t appropriate for those.”

“The HPC building in Debrecen is the biggest home IT building of the last decade, the result of which the town can even be capable of experience,” stated László Papp, mayor of Debrecen (in translation). “In Debrecen, the entirety is there for proficient college scholars and researchers to accomplish their calculations.”
