Chile's National Laboratory for HPC supercharges research performance with Lenovo and AMD
To support scientists across Chile, the country’s national supercomputing lab doubled research performance per watt with an energy-efficient new HPC cluster based on Lenovo ThinkSystem servers, powered by AMD EPYC™ CPUs, AMD Instinct™ GPUs, and Lenovo Neptune® Liquid Cooling technology.
Customer Problem
When NLHPC set out to refresh its cluster, performance and energy efficiency were the organization’s key concerns.
Lenovo Solution
The new cluster comprises Lenovo ThinkSystem SR645 and SR675 V3 servers powered by 4th Gen
AMD EPYC™ CPUs and AMD Instinct™ MI210 GPUs, with Lenovo Neptune® Liquid Cooling for efficient heat removal.
Business Impact
Based on Lenovo and AMD technology, NLHPC’s new cluster delivers exceptional performance while dramatically improving energy efficiency.
“With Lenovo ThinkSystem servers powered by AMD EPYC CPUs, we obtained four times more performance with LINPACK at just double the energy.”
Ginés Guerrero, Executive Head, NLHPC
Results
- · 6,912 high-performance AMD EPYC™ CPU cores
- · Energy-efficient HPC with Lenovo Neptune® Liquid Cooling
- · Twice the performance per watt compared to the previous cluster
