Hewlett Packard Enterprise Selected to Build New Supercomputer for the National Supercomputing Centre Singapore to Support Scientific Research - Seite 2

“Supercomputers have enabled the scientific community in Singapore to make significant strides in their research,” said Associate Professor Tan Tin Wee, Chief Executive at the National Supercomputing Centre (NSCC) Singapore. “The new system will provide the necessary resources to meet the growing supercomputing needs of our researchers, and to enable more of such significant scientific breakthroughs at the national and global level.”

The NSCC’s supercomputer unlocks new level of scientific discovery with advanced technologies

The HPE Cray EX supercomputer powering NSCC’s new supercomputer is a purpose-built system designed specifically to deliver petaflop to exaflop performance with the world’s most energy-efficient footprint. It also includes the HPE Cray EX software stack for software-defined capabilities that allow the NSCC’s users to gain the high-performance of a supercomputer, but through the operational experience of a cloud. Additionally, HPE will integrate the following next-generation technologies with the HPE Cray EX supercomputer:

• Expanded storage to support and share complex workloads in modeling, simulation and AI using the Cray ClusterStor E1000 storage system from HPE and HPE Data Management Framework. NSCC’s new supercomputer will deliver 10 petabytes of storage with over 300GB/s of read/write performance speeds.
• Purpose-built HPC networking using HPE Slingshot to address demands for higher speed and congestion control for data-intensive workloads
• Fully integrated software suite to optimize HPC and AI applications using the HPE Cray Programming Environment
• Powerful compute to improve modeling and simulation using 3^rd Gen AMD EPYC processors
• Targeted accelerated computing capabilities with 352 NVIDIA A100 Tensor Core GPUs for both HPC and AI workloads
• Expanded network infrastructure with multiple 100Gbps links for upgraded connectivity between users and the supercomputing resources using the SingAREN-Lightwave Internet Exchange (SLIX) from the Singapore Advanced Research and Education Network (SingAREN)

The new system will be operational in early 2022. To learn more about NSCC and Singapore’s national HPC resources, please visit www.nscc.sg
