HP Drives Clients to TOP500 List of Fastest Supercomputers
HP Is the Leading Sever Vendor on the List With 198 Systems
DENVER, CO--(Marketwired - Nov 18, 2013) - HP (NYSE: HPQ) today
announced that HP ProLiant Generation 8 (Gen8) servers have
propelled leading commercial, academic and research institutions
onto the TOP500 list of the world's highest performing
supercomputers.
HP server technology supported 198 of this year's top 500
systems, making it the leading server vendor on this year's
list.
Cutting-edge research and development (R&D) is a competitive
differentiator for many organizations, allowing them to attract
leading talent and solve some of the world's largest challenges.
However, emerging scientific applications are consuming more and
more technology resources, making computational performance, power
and space limiting factors in the research equation.
HP is helping solve this problem by creating hyperscale
computing systems that combine extreme levels of performance, power
and cooling innovations to optimize energy consumption.
"Organizations across the board are struggling to keep pace
with rapidly increasing demands for compute resources," said Paul
Santeler, vice president, Hyperscale Server Business Segment, HP.
"The technologies driving the fastest supercomputers of today will
come to bear on traditional data centers of tomorrow, making this a
critical sector for both HP and our customers."
Combining breakthrough innovations from HP Labs -- the company's
central research arm -- with more than 16 years of server
market leadership, HP is helping customers like Tokyo Institute of
Technology, BP, Purdue University, the U.S. Department of Energy's
National Renewable Energy Laboratory and the Texas Advanced
Computing Center define the next wave of hyperscale computing.
Tokyo Institute of Technology Tokyo Institute of Technology's
TSUBAME 2.5 supercomputer ranked No. 11 on this year's TOP500
list.
TSUBAME 2.5 is a recent upgrade of the TSUBAME 2.0 system that
entered the TOP500 at No. 4 in November 2010. TSUBAME 2.5 was
created by upgrading the system's 1,408 HP ProLiant SL390s G7
Servers from NVIDIA Tesla M2050 GPUs to the latest NVIDIA Tesla
K20x GPUs. The upgrade increased peak performance from 2.4
petaflops to 5.7 petaflops, and increased the system's LINPACK
performance benchmark from 1.19 petaflops to 2.84 petaflops. These
performance improvements were achieved without increasing the power
consumption or data center footprint of the system.
TSUBAME 2.5 allows the Tokyo Institute of Technology to speed
scientific and research achievements by supporting applications in
medical simulations, climate forecasting, earthquake and tsunami
simulations, and computational fluid dynamics. Research on the
TSUBAME 2.0 system won numerous awards, including the 2011 Gordon
Bell Prize for Scalability and Time-to-Solution.
BP BP recently unveiled the largest supercomputing complex for
commercial research in the world.
The supercomputing facility, based in Houston, will serve as a
worldwide hub for BP to process and manage huge amounts of geologic
and seismic data from across its portfolio, allowing BP scientists
to produce clear images of rock structures deep underground and
advance its global hunt for oil and natural gas. The system reached
a peak processing capacity of 2.2 petaflops of peak performance of
the overall computing capacity in the data center, leveraging more
than 5,400 HP ProLiant SL230s Gen8 servers for extreme density,
scale and energy efficiency.
Purdue University HP collaborated with Purdue University to
develop the Conte supercomputing cluster, the highest-ranking
campus supercomputer on the TOP500 list, which placed at No.
33overall.
Conte boasts approximately five times the sustained performance
of the previous fastest university-owned supercomputer, Purdue's
Carter system, while using only 87 percent of the number of
servers.
The system performs at a sustained maximum speed of 943.38
teraflops and a peak performance of 1.342 petaflops. This speed
would allow Conte to process problems approximately 15,000 times
faster than a high-end consumer laptop.1
The Conte supercomputer leverages 570 HP ProLiant SL250s Gen8
servers to support a wide variety of research programs for the
university, including chemical engineering, aeronautics,
astronautics and planetary sciences.
National Renewable Energy Laboratory HP collaborated with the
U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory
(NREL) and Intel to develop a highly energy-efficient, warm-water
liquid-cooled supercomputer dubbed Peregrine.
In addition to achieving a peak performance of 1.2 petaflops,
Peregrine is housed in one of the most energy-efficient data
centers in the world, with a power usage effectiveness (PUE)
ranking of 1.06, compared to a national average of 1.91.
Peregrine leverages an innovative approach to cooling that was
designed in collaboration with HP. The system uses warm liquid to
capture heat generated by the servers; the excess heat is then used
to heat NREL's Energy Systems Integration Facility, the nation's
first major research facility focused on clean energy grid
integration and wide-scale deployment.
NREL estimates that the system will save the organization up to
$1 million annually in server cooling and building heating
costs.
Texas Advanced Computing Center The Texas Advanced Computing
Center (TACC) at the University of Texas at Austin has worked with
HP to design Maverick, an interactive, remote visualization and
data analysis system that will enable users to make sense of
large-scale scientific data.
Maverick will be ideal for big data analysis. Every node will
have a large memory, state-of-the-art GPU accelerator, and be
connected to massive data storage.
The system comprises 132 HP ProLiant SL250s compute nodes and 14
HP ProLiant DL360 and DL380 management, login and Lustre router
servers, all connected by a Mellanox FDR InfiniBand interconnect to
provide a high-performance platform.
Maverick will be fully deployed in January 2014.
HP's premier EMEA client event, HP Discover, takes place Dec.
10-12 in Barcelona, Spain.
