Mellanox Technologies, Ltd. announced that its 200 Gigabit HDR InfiniBand solutions were selected to accelerate a supercomputer at the High-Performance Computer Center of the University of Stuttgart (HLRS). The 5000-node supercomputer named “Hawk” will be built in 2019 and provide 24 petaFLOPs of compute performance. By utilizing the InfiniBand fast data throughput and the smart In-Network Computing acceleration engines, HLRS users will be able to achieve the high HPC and AI application performance, scalability and efficiency. The mission of the HLRS Hawk supercomputer is to advance engineering development and research in the fields of energy, climate, health and more, and if built, the new system would be the world's supercomputer for industrial production.
