Japans Fugaku är fortsatt kraftfullaste superdatorn
Ny Top500-lista släppt

Top500, listan över världens kraftfullaste superdatorer, har nu släppts i sin 56:e upplaga sedan listan skapades 1993. Överst på den senaste Top500-listan hittas den ARM-baserade japanska superdatorn Fugaku som har en kapacitet på 442 petaflops.
Det har dock skett lite förändringar på topp-10-listan och där hittas två nya kraftfulla system som kvalar in på sjunde och tionde plats över världens tio mest kraftfulla superdatorer. Det handlar om den tyska JUWELS Booster Module med en kapacitet på 44,1 petaflops vilket gav den en sjundeplats på Top500-listan samt det saudiska oljebolaget Saudi Aramcos superdator Dammam-7, som har en kapacitet på 22,4 petaflops, något som gav den en tiondeplats över världens kraftfullaste superdatorer.
Sveriges snabbaste superdator är Tetralith som har en kapacitet på 2,9 petaflops. Den finns på National Supercomputer Centre (NSC) på Linköpings Universitet och hittas på plats 112 på den senaste Top500-listan. Ni hittar hela den senaste Top500-listan på länken nedan och i faktarutan kan ni läsa lite mer om de för tillfället tio kraftfullaste superdatorerna i världen.
* Summit, an IBM-built system at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in Tennessee, remains the fastest system in the US with a performance of 148.8 petaflops. Summit has 4,356 nodes, each one housing two 22-core Power9 CPUs and six NVIDIA Tesla V100 GPUs.
* Sierra, a system at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California, is ranked third with an HPL mark of 94.6 petaflops. Its architecture is very similar to that of Summit, with each of its 4,320 nodes equipped with two Power9 CPUs and four NVIDIA Tesla V100 GPUs.
* Sunway TaihuLight, a system developed by China’s National Research Center of Parallel Computer Engineering & Technology (NRCPC) and installed at the National Supercomputing Center in Wuxi, is listed at number four. It is powered exclusively by Sunway SW26010 processors and achieves 93 petaflops on HPL.
* At number five is Selene, an NVIDIA DGX A100 SuperPOD installed in-house at NVIDIA Corp. It was listed as number seven in June but has doubled in size, allowing it to move up the list by two positions. The system is based on AMD EPYC processors with NVIDIA’s new A100 GPUs for acceleration. Selene achieved 63.4 petaflops on HPL as a result of the upgrade.
* Tianhe-2A (Milky Way-2A), a system developed by China’s National University of Defense Technology (NUDT) and deployed at the National Supercomputer Center in Guangzho, is ranked 6th. It is powered by Intel Xeon CPUs and NUDT’s Matrix-2000 DSP accelerators and achieves 61.4 petaflops on HPL.
* A new supercomputer, known as the JUWELS Booster Module, debuts at number seven on the list. The Atos-built BullSequana machine was recently installed at the Forschungszentrum Jülich (FZJ) in Germany. It is part of a modular system architecture and a second Xeon based JUWELS Module is listed separately on the TOP500 at position 44. These modules are integrated by using the ParTec Modulo Cluster Software Suite. The Booster Module uses AMD EPYC processors with NVIDIA A100 GPUs for acceleration similar to the number five Selene system. Running by itself the JUWELS Booster Module was able to achieve 44.1 HPL petaflops, which makes it the most powerful system in Europe
* HPC5, a Dell PowerEdge system installed by the Italian company Eni S.p.A., is ranked 8th. It achieves a performance of 35.5 petaflops using Intel Xeon Gold CPUs and NVIDIA Tesla V100 GPUs. It is the most powerful system in the list used for commercial purposes at a customer site.
* Frontera, a Dell C6420 system that was installed at the Texas Advanced Computing Center of the University of Texas last year is now listed at number nine. It achieves 23.5 petaflops using 448,448 of its Intel Platinum Xeon cores.
* The second new system at the top of the list is Dammam-7, which is ranked 10th. It is installed at Saudi Aramco in Saudi Arabia and is the second commercial supercomputer in the current top 10. The HPE Cray CS-Storm systems uses Intel Gold Xeon CPUs and NVIDIA Tesla V100 GPUs. It reached 22.4 petaflops on the HPL benchmark.
