PIK is gaining insights and advancing climate policies for a better world with Lenovo and AMD
PIK multiplies its supercomputer performance by deploying Lenovo ThinkSystem servers powered by AMD EPYC™ processors and Lenovo Neptune® Liquid Cooling technology, providing researchers with new HPC capabilities while boosting energy efficiency.
Customer Problem
The interdisciplinary research that makes PIK unique often requires running analyses and numerical simulations iteratively, many times over with dynamically changing parameters, driving the demand for HPC capacities.
Lenovo Solution
Lenovo and pro-com DATENSYSTEME GmbH implemented 252 Lenovo ThinkSystem servers with powerful 64-core AMD EPYC™ 9554 processors thanks to funding from Federal State of Brandenburg.
Business Impact
By selecting a solution with Lenovo Neptune® direct water cooling, PIK benefits from a future-proof, flexible HPC architecture that boosts efficiency and sustainability while delivering outstanding performance.
“A huge benefit of the Lenovo and AMD solution is the sustainable Lenovo Neptune direct warm water cooling design. We’re heating 250 workplaces with excess heat from our supercomputer and have no other heating system.”
