The Nvidia Eos supercomputer ranks ninth in the list of the fastest supercomputers in the world. The system contains 4,608 Nvidia H100 GPUs.
Nvidia has opened the doors of its supercomputer Eos, which ranks ninth in the famous TOP500 list. The entire setup consists of Nvidia DGX SuperPOD elements. In total, Nvidia installed 576 DGX H100 systems. Everything is connected via a Quantum 2 Inifiniband network, also from Nvidia.
Each DGX H100 system contains eight Nvidia H100 GPUs. So there are a total of 4,608 H100 GPUs on board the Eos supercomputer. Quantum-2 Infiniband delivers data rates of up to 400 Gbit/s to quickly transmit large data sets and train complex AI models, among other things. That is also the focus: generative AI and other AI projects. The system is supported by scalable Intel Sapphire Rapids Xeon CPUs.
According to the manufacturer, the system achieves a total FP8 AI performance of 18.4 exaflops. If you look at the maximum LINPACK performance, which is used to measure the TOP500 list of supercomputers, Eos comes in at 121.4 petaflops. The fastest system, Frontier, achieves 1,194 petaflops or 1.19 exaflops. This makes it the first supercomputer to break the exascale barrier.
