After the Intel Super Computer is delivered for a few months, the US Department of Energy (DOE) Agong National Laboratory (ANL) is approaching the supply agreement with NVIDIA and AMD.
According to Reuters, I'm disclosed that NVIDIA and AMD will supply two parties to ANL "Polaris" (Polaris), but they will not replace Intel Supply "Aurora", launched in 2019 It is considered to be expected to become the fastest computer, which can be calculated for one million billion times (Exaflop).
Source said, "Polaris" adopts NVIDIA's A100 GPU and AMD MILAN server CPU, although EXAFLOP calculations can be performed, but performance is still not as "aurora", most cases slower running speed. Informed people said that "Polaris" will become an ANL to "Aurora" software prepared test equipment.
ANL spokesperson Ben Schiltz did not immediately respond to Reuters' request request, and AMD spokesperson Aaron Grabein did not respond. NVIDIA spokesperson Ken Brown refused to review.
Currently, Intel, AMD and NVIDIA are competing for the chip market share for the data center. A series of supercompals in the United States conduct scientific work for researchers in health care, climate and other fields, and conduct virtual testing of nuclear weapons of the country. The key technologies taken first in the system will penetrate into the commercial data center in the subsequent years, and the chip that will win the contract will take advantage of this.
"Aurora" first released, Intel and ANL have expressed its delivery in 2021, but Intel spokesperson Will Moss said on the 24th that is committed to delivering "Aurora) in 2022. It should be pointed out that Intel has not delivered Ponte Vecchio and Sapphire Rapids chip, and the company said in June, Sapphire Rapids chip will be put into production in 2022.
