University of Nottingham powers ambitious research with OCF, Lenovo, and NVIDIA
To continue supporting world-class research, the University of Nottingham (UoN) collaborated with OCF and Lenovo to refresh its HPC facility with Lenovo ThinkSystem and NVIDIA accelerated computing technology.
Customer Problem
Ranked eighth in the UK for research power, UoN is committed to providing a supportive environment for research. After five years of service, the time had come to refresh its HPC infrastructure.
Lenovo Solution
Named Ada, the new GPU-accelerated cluster is based on 80+ Lenovo ThinkSystem servers and features NVIDIA® A100 and H200 GPUs.
Business Impact
Based on powerful new Lenovo and NVIDIA technology, the Ada cluster offers 4x more compute power than its predecessor, enabling users to perform ever-more complex calculations at higher speed.
“The Ada cluster has delivered a big uplift in the number of GPUs we have available for research, which has really propelled non-traditional disciplines to use the system.”
Professor Jonathan Hirst, Royal Academy of Engineering Chair in Emerging Technologies and Professor of Computational Chemistry, University of Nottingham
Results
- · 4x more compute power
- · GPU acceleration
