![]() ![]() ![]() The exascale-class system implements HPE’s Cray EX supercomputer architecture with Slingshot networking, a future generation of Intel Optane persistent memory and Intel oneAPI software.Īurora’s node design features two future-generation 10nm++ “Sapphire Rapids” CPUs (with enhanced SuperFin technology) and six Xe-HPC “Ponte Vecchio” datacenter GPUs. “This co-design approach has led to the software stack’s quick maturation to production quality for execution on Aurora.”Īurora is being built via a partnership between Intel, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and Argonne National Laboratory. “Our collaboration with Intel in the area of cross-architecture code development is benefiting many of our developer teams,” said Susan Coghlan, project director for Aurora at the ALCF. The Xe-HP-based development platforms are being used by the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility (ALCF) as part of the Aurora Early Science Program and the Exascale Computing Project, which are tasked with ensuring applications, libraries and infrastructure are exascale-ready. Notably, the new chips have been deployed at Argonne National Laboratory, and will serve as a transitional development vehicle for the future (2022) Aurora supercomputer, subbing in for the delayed Intel Xe-HPC (“Ponte Vecchio”) GPUs that are the computational backbone of the system. Since 1987 - Covering the Fastest Computers in the World and the People Who Run ThemĪt SC20, Intel announced that it is making its Xe-HP high performance discrete GPUs available to early access developers. ![]()
