"Argonne's Aurora Supercomputer: Powering Up with Intel Max CPUs and GPUs"

Argonne National Laboratory and Intel have installed all 10,624 blades for the Aurora supercomputer, which will come online later this year. The system promises to deliver a peak theoretical compute performance over 2 FP64 ExaFLOPS using its array of tens of thousands of Xeon Max 'Sapphire Rapids' CPUs with on-package HBM2E memory as well as Data Center GPU Max 'Ponte Vecchio' compute GPUs. The machine is powered by 21,248 general-purpose processors with over 1.1 million cores for workloads that require traditional CPU horsepower and 63,744 compute GPUs that will serve AI and HPC workloads.
