Today,
at the International Supercomputing Conference (ISC) in Frankfurt, Lenovo
Data Center Group (HKSE: 992) (ADR: LNVGY) continued its global
momentum, becoming the world’s largest TOP500 supercomputing provider measured
by the number of systems ranked on the TOP500 list. 117 of the 500 most
powerful supercomputers included in the TOP500 are Lenovo installations,
meaning nearly one out of every four systems (23.4 percent) on the prestigious
list is a Lenovo solution.
“Last
year, we set a goal to become the world’s largest provider of TOP500 computing
systems by 2020. We have reached that goal two years ahead of our original
plan,” said Kirk Skaugen, President of Lenovo Data Center Group. “This
distinction is a testament to our commitment to prioritize customer
satisfaction, deliver cutting edge innovation and performance and be the
world’s most trusted data center partner. We are motivated every day by the
scientists and their groundbreaking research as we work together to solve
humanity’s greatest challenges.”
Lenovo’s
high performance computing customer base is as diverse as it is wide, with 17
of the top 25 research universities and institutions across the globe now
powering their research with Lenovo’s comprehensive HPC and AI solutions.
Lenovo, with dual headquarters in Morrisville, NC, USA and Beijing, China,
enables ground breaking research in over 160 countries in the world and in many
fields including cancer and brain research, astrophysics, climate science,
chemistry, biology, artificial intelligence, automotive and aeronautics, to
name a few.
Examples
of Lenovo’s innovative supercomputer system designs and the research they
enable include:
· ITALY : CINECA – Largest
computing center in Italy
· CANADA:
SciNet – Home to Niagara, the most powerful supercomputer in Canada;
First of its kind to leverage a dragonfly topology; Researchers have access to
3 petaflops of Lenovo processing power to help them understand the effect of
climate change on ocean circulations.
-GERMANY:
Leibniz-Rechenzentrum (LRZ) – Supercomputing center in Munich,
Germany; Lenovo’s Direct to Node warm water cooling technologies have reduced
energy consumption at the facility by 40 percent; Scientists conduct earthquake
and tsunami simulations to better predict future natural disasters.
-DENMARK:
VESTAS – The largest supercomputer in Denmark; Winner of HPCwire’s
“Reader’s Choice for Best Use of High Performance Data Analytics”; Vestas is
working to make wind energy production even more efficient by collecting and
analyzing data to help customers pick the best sites for wind energy
installations.
“Lenovo
has an industry leading ability to bring deep innovations and a comprehensive
approach to execute on the largest scale and highest performance, working with
our customers to design supercomputing systems that meet their needs in terms
of design and compute power,” said Madhu Matta, Vice President and General
Manager of HPC and AI at Lenovo Data Center Group. “This flexibility and
customer-first attitude positions us well for future growth in the high
performance computing and artificial intelligence markets.”
To
further enable customers to increase performance and simultaneously reduce
electrical consumption,Lenovo also
announced Neptune – its holistic, three-pronged approach to
liquid cooling technologies – this week at ISC. Neptune encompasses the
company’s entire suite of liquid cooling technologies including Lenovo’s Direct
to Node (DTN) warm water cooling, rear door heat exchanger (RDHX) and hybrid
Thermal Transfer Module (TTM) solutions, which combine both air and liquid
cooling to deliver peak or high performance for HPC, AI and enterprise
customers.
