HPE Cray Supercomputing GX5000 will power next-generation exascale and leadership-class supercomputers that HPE builds as fully integrated systems spanning state-of-the-art CPUs, accelerators, storage, networking, software and 100% direct-liquid cooling.
The GX5000 was designed to support converged HPC workloads, like modeling and simulation, with AI, to accelerate scientific discovery across areas such as drug discovery, climate forecasting and materials science.
GX5000 systems also address growing requirements for secure multi-tenant capabilities to manage user control while enabling access to bolster collaboration.
Early adopters of HPE Cray Supercomputing GX5000 take on new missions in AI and quantum
World-leading supercomputing and research centers are adopting GX5000 with 6th Gen AMD EPYC processors to make breakthroughs in AI and quantum-driven applications scientific discoveries.
Early adopters include Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and the High-Performance Computing Center of the University of Stuttgart (HLRS).
Oak Ridge National Laboratory expands exascale capabilities for open science with “Discovery”
After ushering in the world’s first exascale supercomputer, Frontier, Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), HPE, and AMD are partnering again to deliver an even more powerful exascale machine with Discovery, an HPE Cray Supercomputing GX5000 system with new AMD EPYC processors.
Discovery will support a mix of converged simulation and AI workloads, AI model development and training, and serve as a testbed for ORNL’s ongoing efforts in quantum computing.
ORNL, HPE and AMD are also building a dedicated AI system, called “Lux,” using next generation HPE systems featuring 6th Gen AMD EPYC processors. Lux will accelerate AI development, as part of the U.S. Genesis Mission, to strengthen national security and competitiveness.
HLRS boosts Germany’s research and manufacturing efforts with next-generation supercomputer “Herder”
HPE and HLRS, one of Germany’s leading research centers, are continuing a years-long partnership of designing and delivering cutting-edge supercomputers with HLRS’ upcoming flagship system, “Herder.”
Herder, a GX5000 system with new AMD EPYC CPUs, is expected to be 7X more powerful than HLRS’ current supercomputer, to bolster German and European research and advance industrial innovation.
The system will support a growing demand in computational science for converged simulation and AI capabilities, and advance AI model training.
HPE Cray Supercomputing GX5000 supports a range of mixed-precision and double-precision computing workloads
The HPE Cray Supercomputing GX5000, featuring 6th Gen AMD EPYC processors, is offered as two blade options to support demands in traditional supercomputing workloads, like modeling and simulation, and AI capabilities like model development, training, and tuning.
- HPE Cray Supercomputing GX350a Accelerated Blade: A mixed-precision computing blade that combines one 6th Gen AMD EPYC processor with four AMD Instinct MI430X GPUs, supporting up to 112 AMD GPUs per rack.
- HPE Cray Supercomputing GX250 Compute Blade: A CPU-only blade targeted for double-precision workloads that features eight 6th Gen AMD EPYC processors. A single rack can house 40 nodes to support extreme density with 81,920 CPU cores.
- HPE and AMD collaborate on AMD Helios™ AI rack scale system, featuring industry-first scale-up Ethernet networking
HPE is collaborating with AMD to deliver the AMD Helios AI rack scale system, which represents a new generation of AI infrastructure designed for the era of trillion-parameter models and large-scale AI environments.
The solution delivers 260 TB/s of scale-up bandwidth and 2.9 exaflops of FP4 performance for trillion-parameter AI training and high-volume inferencing. The purpose-built HPE Juniper Networking hardware and software is based on the open Ultra Accelerator Link over Ethernet (UALoE) standard, the first in the industry to supercharge AI training and inference performance using standards-based Ethernet.
By combining HPE’s leadership in high-performance computing, networking, advanced direct liquid cooled technologies, system engineering, and AI deployment, with AMD state-of-the-art AI computing platform , HPE and AMD will help transform Helios from an architecture into a production-ready platform that delivers performance at scale, reliability, and faster time to insight.
