Supercomputer Support for Industrial and Academic partnerships
Feb 26 2017
A major collaboration between STFC’s Hartree Centre and leading digital services company Atos UK&I is set to boost the high performance computing needs of UK industry and academia following the purchase of the UK’s first Bull Sequana X1000 supercomputer system, one of the most powerful in the world, capable of performing 3.4 quadrillion calculations per second.
A key focus of the collaboration will be energy efficient computing – the Bull sequana’s packaging and cooling technology has been designed to accommodate future generations of processor, interconnect and accelerator technology that will allow exascale levels of performance to be realised whilst at the same time offering a reduced environmental footprint. The new Bull sequana system will be listed high within the Green500 list of most energy efficient computers.
Andy Grant, Head of Big Data and HPC, Atos UK&I: “We believe that our Bull supercomputing technology, people and collaborative approach will reinforce the Centre’s reputation as a world class HPC centre of excellence and as the flagship model for industry-academic collaboration.
