BASF Selects HPE to Build Supercomputer for Global Chemical Research - Seite 2

"Customers are always looking for systems that deliver the best performance at the best total cost of ownership," said Barry Davis, General Manager, Accelerated Workload Group, Intel. "Intel® Omni-Path Architecture is specifically designed to deliver outstanding performance while scaling cost-effectively from entry-level high performance computing clusters to larger clusters with 10,000 nodes or more -- offering a significant advantage on both fronts."

Developed and built by HPE, the new supercomputer will consist of several hundred computer nodes. The supercomputer will also leverage HPE Apollo Systems to give customers simplified administration efficiencies and flexibility to match their solutions to the workload and lower their total cost of ownership.
