The US Department of Energy has requested information from suppliers to build a supercomputer with a capacity of more than 10 exaflops. Installation is scheduled to start by 2030.
According to the document, the ministry is interested in using one or more supercomputers that can solve high-precision tasks five to ten times faster than existing systems.
The department hopes that by 2030 they will be able to build a factory with a capacity of 10-20 exaflops. After 2030, it is planned to increase the system performance to 100 exaflops, which they intend to realize “thanks to hardware and software acceleration mechanisms”.
The power consumption of such a power plant is expected to be 20-60 MW.
The ministry also announced its desire to move from “monolithic installations” to modular systems. This will contribute to faster implementation of hardware and software innovations.
As a result, the upgrade cycle of supercomputer components can be reduced from four to five years to 12 to 24 months, according to the department.
The level of knowledge requested by the Ministry of Energy from suppliers covers promising areas for 2025-2030:
It also states that future deployments will require an appropriate software stack designed for a wide variety of tasks in large-scale modeling, machine learning, and data analytics. They must be fault-tolerant to minimize manual labor.
Sellers must submit their bids by the end of July 2022.
Recall that in May, the American supercomputer Frontier took the first place in the Top500 ranking. This is the first rig to hit a peak of 1.1 exaflops in the Linmark test.
In June, American startup Cerebras set a world record by training “the largest artificial intelligence model” on a single device.
In May 2021, scientists unveiled an AI supercomputer to study dark energy, which will help create the largest ever 3D map of the visible universe.
