Eviden to Deliver Finland's Next National AI Supercomputer Tripling
Its Computing Power
Paris, France – November 20, 2024
– Eviden, the Atos Group business leading in advanced
computing, today announces a contract of up to 60 million euros as
part of a framework agreement with CSC – IT Center for Science in
Finland to provide it with “Roihu”, which will be Finland’s newest
national supercomputer and which will triple the computing capacity
of the existing systems, “Mahti” and “Puhti”, also will also
significant increase AI performance.
Built on Eviden’s BullSequana XH3000 hybrid
platform, the new Roihu system will provide an increased
performance of up to a theoretical peak power of 49 petaflops.
Benefitting from a GPU capacity of over 10x compared to the Puhti
supercomputer currently in use, the system will cover a wide range
of use cases, including the analysis of audio and video recordings,
AI applications across diverse fields, and traditional simulations
like fluid dynamics and climate modeling.
Additionally, Roihu is poised to revolutionize
educational access in higher learning institutions, providing a
flexible, scalable resource for a broad range of users. This
growing area may not demand massive computing power, but it plays a
critical role in training the next generation of researchers and
industry experts across all disciplines.
Pekka Lehtovuori, Director, CSC
said “Finland has invested in its own national computing
environment on a long-term basis. We need to be able to serve all
researchers who need data management and computing resources.
Computational grand challenges that require very high computing
resources will still be solved with the pan-European EuroHPC LUMI
supercomputer. Roihu's mission as a national supercomputer is to
complement LUMI and to offer competitive resources to the majority
of Finnish researchers.”
Bruno Lecointe, VP, Global head of HPC,
AI and Quantum Computing, Eviden, Atos Group, said
"Roihu is a significant investment in Finland’s national
research infrastructure, set to triple the current supercomputing
resources and become a major accelerator for scientific
breakthroughs. CSC – IT Center for Science is a world-renowned
research center, equipped with some of the most powerful systems
globally. It is an honor to support them and Finland on their
large-scale simulation journey. With our BullSequana DLC
technologies, we will support Finnish research while ensuring
reduced environmental impacts. Together, we are advancing
sustainable HPC AI computation, ensuring Finland remains at the
forefront of innovation to leverage AI workloads.”
