Eviden expands LNCC Santos Dumont
supercomputer capacity fourfold to meet growing needs of academic
community
Santos Dumont will assist in cutting-edge
research initiatives, especially in oil & gas sector
Sao Paulo, Brazil and Paris, France –
April 11th, 2024 – Eviden, the Atos Group business leading
in advanced computing today announces that it has signed a new
$19.4 million contract with The National Laboratory for Scientific
Computing (LNCC) to extend the compute capacity of its “Santos
Dumont” supercomputer. Based on Eviden’s BullSequana XH3000
architecture, this extension will see Eviden expand the capacity by
4 times, securing the supercomputer’s rank as the most powerful in
Latin America for academic research.
The LNCC needed to modernize Santos Dumont to
meet the growing computation demands of the academic community and
assist in its cutting-edge research initiatives, especially in the
oil and gas sector. Installed in Petrópolis, Rio de Janeiro, and
with the expansion of 17 Petaflops, the supercomputer will now
operate with a total processing capacity of approximately 18,85
quadrillion operations per second, an increase of approximately
575% compared to the original 2015 specification of 1.1 Petaflops
plus the expansion of 2019 which added 1,85 Petaflops based on the
Sequana X1000 architecture.
“We're thrilled to continue our long-standing
partnership with LNCC and further enhance the capabilities of the
Santos Dumont supercomputer. This contract underscores Eviden's
commitment to empowering academic research and supporting
cutting-edge initiatives in Brazil. With our BullSequana XH3000
architecture, we're ensuring that LNCC has access to the most
advanced computing power available, solidifying Santos Dumont's
position as the leading supercomputer in Latin America.” Said
Luis Casuscelli, Director of Big Data and
Cyber Security at Eviden
in South America, Atos Group.
Fábio Borges, Director at The National
Laboratory for Scientific Computing (LNCC) said “Thanks to
Petrobras, we have the resources necessary to significantly bolster
cutting-edge research and development projects, driving
advancements in science and technology worldwide. Thanks to Eviden,
we now have access to a state-of-the-art supercomputer that
empowers Brazilian researchers to conduct large-scale scientific
experiments and simulations, advancing our capabilities in various
fields of study, enabling groundbreaking discoveries and
innovations.”
In total around 434 projects have been conducted
with Santos Dumont in strategic areas such as oil and gas
exploration, and coal and renewable energy, but also on studies for
the development of medicines and vaccines against COVID-19, drug
development for HIV and climate studies.
Eviden will provide 5 BullSequana XH3000 racks,
to deliver exceptional performance, combining energy efficiency and
advanced cooling - its patented Direct Liquid Cooling technology -
for reliability, sustainability and low cost of operation. This
will be boosted by 60 CPUs, 62 GPUs (2 x Intel Sapphire Rapids and
4 x Nvidia Hopper HGX H100) and 36 Grace Hopper GPU with DDN
storage. Eviden will provide its Software Suite, including Smart
Management Center, Smart Performance Management Suite, Smart Energy
Management Suite and Smart Data Management Suite.
