Regarding its architecture, approximately 80% of this capacity is provided by the GPU-accelerated partition, but the system include a separate, purely CPU-based partition, as well as dedicated artificial intelligence (AI) and Big Data partitions. The system is equipped with a multi-level storage system of more than 10 petabytes.
This supercomputer utilizes an extremely advanced and energy-efficient technology, and thus has a power demand less than 400 kW despite its huge computing performance.
The machine use an especially environmentally-friendly solution for cooling – the so-called hot water cooling technology –, which enables the reuse of the waste heat generated by the machine, as well as a highly energy-efficient passive cooling.
