TOKYO, Nov 13, 2024 – (JCN Newswire) – – NEC Company (NEC; TSE: 6701) has acquired an order for a next-generation supercomputer system from Japan’s Nationwide Institutes for Quantum (NASDAQ:) Science and Know-how (QST), beneath the Nationwide Analysis and Growth Company, and the Nationwide Institute for Fusion Science (NIFS), a part of the Nationwide Institutes of Pure Sciences beneath the Inter-College Analysis Institute Company. The brand new supercomputer system is scheduled to be operational from July 2025.
The following-generation supercomputer system will characteristic multi-architecture with the most recent CPUs and GPUs and can consist of huge storage capability and a high-speed community. This method is anticipated for use for varied analysis and improvement within the area of fusion science analysis. Particularly, the system might be used for exact prediction of experiments and creation of operation eventualities within the ITER venture, which is being promoted as a world venture, and the Satellite tv for pc Tokamak (JT-60SA) venture, which is being promoted as a Broader Method exercise, and for design of DEMO reactors. The DEMO venture promotes large-scale numerical calculations for DEMO design and R&D to speed up the conclusion of a DEMO reactor that contributes to carbon neutrality. As well as, NIFS will conduct numerical simulation analysis utilizing the supercomputer for multi-scale and multi-physics methods, together with fusion plasmas, to broadly speed up analysis on the science and purposes of fusion plasmas, and as an Inter-College Analysis Institute, will present universities and analysis institutes nationwide with alternatives for collaborative analysis utilizing the state-of-the-art supercomputer.
The brand new system consists primarily of 360 NEC LX 204Bin-3s (with a complete of 720 Intel (NASDAQ:) Xeon 6900Ps) and 70 NEC LX 401Bax-3GAs (with a complete of 280 AMD (NASDAQ:) Intuition MI300As), with whole theoretical efficiency of 40.4 petaflops of computing energy. Theoretical computing efficiency might be roughly 2.7 occasions larger than the mixed efficiency of the 2 supercomputers put in individually at QST and NIFS. The NEC LX 204Bin-3 is provided with MRDIMMs, which have excessive efficiency in HPC packages.
The supercomputer system consists primarily of the “LX sequence,” which was developed by combining the high-density packaging know-how and high-efficiency cooling know-how that NEC has developed over a few years within the improvement of supercomputers. The Intel “CPU Xeon6900P,” “MRDIMM,” and AMD’s -Intuition MI300A” GPUs put in in these server teams are the primary introduction of its sort in Japan. As well as, the community atmosphere makes use of “InfiniBand” with the NVIDIA (NASDAQ:) “QM9700,” “Altair PBS Skilled” software program, and a scheduler optimized for AMD’s Intuition MI300A. As well as, as a storage atmosphere, a DDN “ES400NVX2” might be deployed with a complete capability of 42.2 petabytes with a Lustre parallel file system “EXAScaler.” NEC will combine these parts together with software program optimization.
NEC will proceed to contribute to the event of cutting-edge applied sciences by selling the event of next-generation high-performance servers as a basis for utilization in industrial purposes and AI/Huge Information domains, in addition to the standard utility areas of supercomputers. NEC will even help analysis actions within the tutorial area by offering tutorial analysis data infrastructure with HPC options at its core as certainly one of its BluStellar choices.
“Intel is proud to accomplice with NEC to energy a system on the Nationwide Institutes for Quantum Science and Know-how and Nationwide Institute for Fusion Science.
