In a collaboration to help advance national security and basic science missions, Los Alamos National Laboratory is working with Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) and NVIDIA to design and install the institute's newest supercomputer, Venado. Ta.
Representatives from the U.S. Department of Energy, National Nuclear Security Administration, Los Alamos, HPE, and NVIDIA unveiled the new HPE Cray EX supercomputer Venado, powered by the NVIDIA GH200 Grace Hopper superchip, at the Institute on Monday, April 15. We held a ribbon cutting. Nicholas C. Metropolis Modeling and Simulation Center.
“Venado is a cutting-edge addition to supercomputing that advances national security and basic research, accelerating how we integrate artificial intelligence to address these challenges,” said Los Alamos National Laboratory Director Tom Mason. I will.”
The NVIDIA Grace Hopper Superchip combines an Arm-based NVIDIA central processing unit with an NVIDIA Hopper architecture-based graphics processing unit for high-performance computing and large-scale artificial intelligence applications. Superchips can typically execute millions of instructions per second or more at lower cost and lower power consumption than traditional chip technologies. In initial scale testing, Venado has shown significant results in materials science atomic simulations and high-resolution astrophysical simulations.
“Our supercomputing capabilities represent a critical element in how national laboratories address important problems,” said David Turk, deputy secretary of the U.S. Department of Energy. “With its ability to incorporate artificial intelligence approaches, we look forward to seeing how Los Alamos’ Venado system can bring new and meaningful results to areas of interest.”
Venado's computing power includes an exascale-class HPE Cray EX supercomputer with 2,560 direct water-cooled Grace Hopper superchips. The system also uses 920 of his NVIDIA Grace CPU Superchips, making it the first large-scale system equipped with his NVIDIA Grace CPU Superchips to be deployed in the United States. NVIDIA packs 144 Arm cores on its Grace CPU superchip to instantly boost performance for a wide range of HPC applications.
“As the first supercomputer in the United States to be powered by NVIDIA Grace Hopper, the Venado system delivers breakthrough performance and energy efficiency to accelerate scientific discovery,” said Ian Buck, vice president of hyperscale and HPC at NVIDIA. says. “Through his continued work with Alamos and his HPE, Venado will become a great scientific instrument for researchers to achieve breakthroughs in materials science, renewable energy, astrophysics, and more.
