The first supercomputer contract for AMD’s new MI300 chip was signed by Hewlett Packard Enterprise and the University of Stuttgart. For example, a new exascale supercomputer is planned for Europe.
A few years ago, AMD worked with Cray to build an exascale computer for the US government. Now Europe will also host such an exascale supercomputer in Stuttgart. This is the first supercomputer contract for AMD’s brand new MI300 chip, which is a nice reward. The contract covers two systems; One computer is upgraded from the existing system to 39 PFLOPS, the other is an entirely new exascale supercomputer with AMD’s MI300 chip. The supercomputers will be called Hunter and Herder.
AMD will build two supercomputers together with Hewlett Packard Enterprise. A computer called Hunter is an upgrade to the existing Hawk supercomputer, which already boasted at the top of the TOP 500 list. This computer is now scaling up from 26 PFLOPS to 39 PFLOPS.
The other computer, Herder, will be a brand new system that will use AMD’s recently announced MI300A chip. This new chip is a groundbreaking product for AMD as it combines a CPU, GPU and high-bandwidth memory in one package.
Hunter is expected to be operational in 2025, Herder in 2027. AMD is already powering the world’s first exascale supercomputer and will also be a leader in Europe with the Herder supercomputer. The new system is good news for Germany, which is gradually becoming a European HPC superpower. For example, another exascale system, Jupiter, is already coming to the country. Atos will build this system.
