The new system will be based on the HPE Cray EX supercomputer and will be equipped with a combination of EPYC 7763 and EPYC 75F3 processors. The supercomputer is scheduled to be fully put into use in 2022, and its theoretical peak performance is expected to reach 10 petaFLOPS, which is 8 times faster than NSCC's existing HPC computing resources. At that time, researchers will use the system to further explore scientific research in biomedicine, genetics, disease, and climate.
Ram Peddibhotla, Global Vice President of AMD EPYC Product Management, said: "The AMD EPYC processor is the leading choice for HPC research that has an impact on the world. This is why it has been selected to power Singapore's strongest supercomputer. We are very pleased. We can work with HPE and NSCC to help unlock more scientific discoveries in medicine, disease, climate, and engineering."
In mid-March, AMD released the new third-generation AMD EPYC (Xiaolong) 7003 series processor "Milan". According to the Q1 quarterly report released by the market research company, in the server CPU market, AMD's market share has increased from 5.1% in Q1 2020 to 8.9%.
