- New investment establishes Imperial College London as a leading Tier 3 HPC university in the UK
London – May 16, 2023. Imperial College London has entered into a joint partnership with Lenovo and Intel to deliver more sustainable High Performance Computing (HPC) as part of its Central Research Computing Services (RCS).of The agreement also creates a new ICICLE collaboration between Lenovo and Intel.Supporting access to a range of long-term research, emerging technologies, and gender-balanced initiatives to develop the next generation of researchers and prepare Imperial students for the tremendous opportunities in the HPC and AI fields. New solution enables parallel computing All undergraduate workloads (engineering, natural sciences, medicine, business school)delivering next-generation high-performance computing to researchers and their industry partners to help solve problems. global challenges.
To support the future of research This multi-year collaboration and initial investment will make Imperial College one of the UK’s largest Tier 3 HPC universities. With the aim of introducing a more sustainable form of HPC, RCS currently has Lenovo Neptune™ liquid cooling technology Allows server components and high-bandwidth memory (HBM) to operate efficiently with cooling capabilities not possible with traditional methods. The partnership also promises workshops on deep learning, water cooling, and hybrid cloud.
Imperial College, Lenovo and Intel all share an unwavering commitment and innovative passion for sustainability. The RCS supercomputer can now run with reduced power and carbon footprint while giving researchers her HPC power. To create sustainable solutions that benefit the wider society and have a long-term positive impact on humanity.
Professor Mary Ryan, Vice-Chancellor for Research and Enterprise, Imperial College London, said: “This investment will increase our capabilities, improve our services and strengthen our position at the forefront of research, innovation and training, while also reducing our future carbon footprint.”
The Research Computing Service is the heart of Imperial’s research infrastructure and digital campus that connects to new initiatives such as: white city campus Contribute to innovation, entrepreneurship and interdisciplinary research. RCS provides advanced computing resources to researchers at Imperial College London through a scheduled and interactive HPC platform, large-scale data storage and data transfer capabilities, research software engineering consulting and community.
“Like many companies in the HPC community, Imperial College London faced two competing demands for a new supercomputer: providing more computing power to researchers across multiple disciplines, The need for faster time-to-answer and the need to reduce the environmental impact of the system,” said Scott Tease, vice president and general manager, HPC & AI. “Lenovo is extremely proud to have chosen to build its systems on ThinkSystem servers with Neptune™ liquid cooling technology. Neptune™ systems with Intel’s High Bandwidth (HBM) memory With , Imperial College will provide researchers with tremendous computing power while actually reducing the power consumption required to do so.”
As part of the collaboration, Lenovo will provide operational support, access to liquid cooling experts as the new strategy is implemented, and technical assessments such as power and cooling resiliency assessments, data center baseline cooling, and high density. We provide managed services tailored for HPC to help you. Thermal modeling of /HPC systems.
“Cultivating the next generation of HPC and AI scientists is the responsibility of not only academic institutions but also the technology industry,” said Adam Law, HPC Technical Director for EMEA, Intel Corporation. “Intel is at the forefront of emerging technologies and through this partnership, we will support PhD students through the UKRI iCase program, provide remote access to the Intel DevCloud and Software Development Platform (SDP), and concomitantly with the founding of Imperial. We support the development of HPC platforms.” As an Intel HPC Code Optimization Specialist and oneAPI Center of Excellence. ”
Imperial currently has eight college-level universities. Academic strategy project. One of them is Global development hub, is focused on researchers addressing pressing challenges related to sustainable energy technologies, climate change, food and water security, and infectious diseases. For example: Jenny Nelson, Professor of Physics at Imperial, combines his RCS-supported experiments at Imperial with his computer simulations to study the properties of semiconductor materials and their application to low-cost organic solar cells. doing. For over 10 years, team has worked with Imperial Grantham Institute Provide clean energy systems to developing countries. Researchers across Imperial and its global collaboration network are committed to sustainable, Pollution free future.
