- MareNostrum 5’s Lenovo-built general-purpose partition (GPP) ranked as prime x86 GPP on newest TOP500 listing
- HPC servers offered by Lenovo for MareNostrum 5 manufactured at its purpose-built in-house facility in Budapest, Hungary
- Constructed on award-winning Lenovo Neptune™ liquid cooling know-how to drive greater efficiency whereas utilizing much less vitality.
Barcelona, Spain, 30 January 2023 – Lenovo (HKSE: 992) (ADR: LNVGY) has at this time introduced that the Common Function Partition of the MareNostrum 5, a brand new pre-exascale supercomputer operating on Lenovo’s HPC infrastructure, has been labeled as the highest x86 general-purpose cluster on the just lately revealed TOP500 listing of probably the most highly effective supercomputers globally.
Formally inaugurated at Barcelona Supercomputing Middle on December 21st, MareNostrum 5 has been constructed for the European Excessive Efficiency Computing Joint Endeavor (EuroHPC JU). The pre-exascale supercomputer will bolster the EU’s mission to offer Europe with probably the most superior supercomputing know-how and speed up the capability for synthetic intelligence (AI) analysis, enabling new scientific advances that may assist resolve world challenges. It goals to empower a variety of advanced HPC-specific functions, from local weather analysis and engineering to materials science and earth sciences, adeptly dealing with duties that stretch past the capabilities of cloud computing.
Showcasing distinctive efficiency, MareNostrum5 GPP cluster half will obtain 40.1 Rmax PFlop/s with an environment friendly energy consumption of 5.7MW. The system makes use of Lenovo’s cutting-edge fifth-generation Neptune™ direct water-cooled know-how, with the guts of the system being 6400 Lenovo ThinkSystem SD650 V3 techniques, built-in with the most recent 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors.
Lenovo, enabled by the EMEA accomplice ecosystem, offered the HPC infrastructure constructed on its award-winning Neptune™ liquid cooling know-how. The Common-Function Partition is the most important of its sort on this planet, ranked as the best x86 general-purpose cluster on the latest TOP500 listing at #19 total. It was particularly designed to unravel advanced scientific issues by way of its capability to share assets and run a number of duties or packages concurrently moderately than in isolation. This gives higher flexibility and improved effectivity by enabling entry to completely different customers or initiatives on the identical time, relying on their wants.
“We’re pleased with this joint work with Lenovo, the fruit of which is the MareNostrum5 GPP cluster half, some of the superior in Europe and on this planet in its traits”, commented Sergi Girona, Operations Director at Barcelona Supercomputing Middle. “This partitioning, along with accelerated partitioning, makes MareNostrum 5 some of the heterogeneous high-performance supercomputers to handle main world challenges on the digital twins period, resembling local weather change, personalised drugs or vitality. This new infrastructure might be key for Europe to advance its digital technique to serve academia and personal sector and construct a greater, extra resilient and sovereign Europe”
“As a world chief in supercomputing, we’re proud to be supporting Europe’s dedication in the direction of technological excellence with the MareNostrum 5 pre-exascale system at Barcelona Supercomputing Middle,” stated Noam Rosen, Director, HPC and AI EMEA at Lenovo. “This technique is a testomony to Europe’s drive for technological management and Lenovo’s dedication to advancing scientific analysis. Manufactured completely in Europe, the MareNostrum 5 general-purpose supercomputer is poised to be a catalyst for scientific discovery, serving to researchers deal with a myriad of challenges, from the speedy to the exploratory. Our pleasure for supporting the scientific group is the same as our dedication to advancing the Barcelona Supercomputing Middle and EuroHPC’s management in driving HPC innovation all through Europe.”
Manufactured in Europe
The HPC servers offered by Lenovo for MareNostrum 5 have been manufactured at its purpose-built in-house facility in Budapest, Hungary, which opened in 2022 to help clients all through Europe, the Center East and Africa with their necessities for server infrastructure, storage techniques and high-end PC workstations. The power has since served greater than 1,000 clients throughout the area, having shipped over a million workstations and servers. Along with enabling nearer collaboration with European clients, in addition to improved native visibility of provide chains, the ability’s location on the middle of Europe has decreased its CO2 emissions on shipments by greater than 90% resulting from diminished freight miles.
With added capabilities from its Hungary facility, Lenovo has continued to service clients internet hosting a few of Europe’s largest supercomputers, together with Barcelona Supercomputing Middle, which Lenovo has additionally partnered with to considerably advance R&D capabilities. Different HPC computing facilities Lenovo has serviced within the area embrace the Leibniz Supercomputing Middle in Germany and SURF within the Netherlands.
Placements in TOP500 and Green500
In a record-breaking yr of wins, Lenovo has retained the primary place in techniques share with 169 on the TOP500 listing, with 1 in 3 techniques operating on Lenovo HPC. This solidifies Lenovo because the primary supplier of supercomputers on this planet.
On the Green500 listing, the Flatiron Insitute’s Henri system continues to carry the primary spot for the world’s most vitality environment friendly supercomputer, powered by Lenovo’s ThinkSystem SR670 V2 with Intel Xeon Platinum and NVIDIA H100. Lenovo additionally added one other system to the Green500’s prime ten with South Korea’s Institute for Fundamental Sciences system, composed of Lenovo ThinkSystem SR675 V3 with AMD EPYC processors, NVIDIA H100 and Infiniband NDR 400.
