The new TX-GAIA(Green AI Accelerator)computing system at the Lincoln Laboratory Supercomputing Center(LLSC)has been ranked as the most powerful artificial intelligence supercomputer at any university in the world.The ranking comes from TOP500,which publishes alist of the top supercomputers in various categories biannually.The system,which was built by Hewlett Packard Enterprise,combines traditional high-performance computing hardware—nearly 900 Intel processors—with hardware optimized for AI applications—900 Nvidia graphics processing unit(GPU)accelerators."We are thrilled by the opportunity to enable researchers across Lincoln and MIT to achieve incredible scientific and engineering breakthroughs,"says Jeremy Kepner,a Lincoln Laboratory fellow who heads the LLSC."TX-GAIA will play alarge role in supporting AI,physical simulation,and data analysis across all laboratory missions."TOP500 rankings are based on aLINPACK Benchmark,which is ameasure of asystem‘s floating-point computing power,or how fast acomputer solves adense system of linear equations.TX-GAIA‘s TOP500 benchmark performance is 3.9 quadrillion floating-point operations per second,or petaflops(though since the ranking was announced in June 2019,Hewlett Packard Enterprise has updated the system‘s benchmark to 4.725 petaflops).The June TOP500 benchmark performance places the system No.1 in the Northeast,No.20 in the United States,and No.51 in the world for supercomputing power.The system‘s peak performance is more than 6petaflops. 查看详细>>
