Atos to build Max Planck Society’s new BullSequana XH3000-based supercomputer
ATOS has been awarded a contract to build and install a new high- performance computer for the Max Planck Society, a world-leading science and technology research organization. The new system will be based on Atos’ latest BullSequana XH3000 platform, which is powered by AMD EPYC CPUs and Instinct accelerators. In its final configuration, the application performance will be three times higher than the current
Cobra system, which is also based on Atos technologies. The new supercomputer, with a total order value of over 20 million euros, will be operated by the Max Planck Computing and Data Facility (MPCDF) in Garching near Munich and will provide high-performance computing (HPC) capacity for many institutes of the Max Planck Society. Particularly demanding scientific projects, such as those in astrophysics, life science research, materials research, plasma physics, and AI will benefit from the high-performance capabilities of the new system.
Prof. Erwin Laure, director of the Max Planck Computing and Data Facility said: “The computing power required by scientific research is ever increasing and we see an unabated need for high-performance computing capacity. We want to provide the best possible support to our researchers in their work and have therefore decided to modernise our high-performance computing complex.” Brad McCredie, corporate
vice president, Data Centre Acceleration Business, AMD said: “AMD, with the MI300A APU, continues to deliver breakthrough performance for researchers and the high- performance computing industry. AMD is excited by the strong market validation of the performance, power and simplified programming advantages unlocked by the MI300A APU architecture and we are looking forward to working with Atos to advance the specific science and research needs of the Max Planck Society.”
TSC Printronix Auto ID establishes UK repair resources
TSC PRINTRONIX AUTO ID has opened a UK repair centre to ensure that end-users and channel partners no longer face time delays or transportation costs associated with returning failed TSC or Printronix branded printers to Germany. “By opening a satellite
repair centre in the UK, we can deliver faster resolution of repairs and a more cost-effective service for our distributors, resellers and end-customers nationally,” said Jaime de Sousa, service specialist, TSC Printronix Auto ID EMEA. “The centre enables us to abolish the shipping and import/export charges of returning failed printers to and from Germany, as well as get rid of delays caused by completing paperwork and awaiting custom checks. A UK base also ensures greater spare parts availability and alleviates any language barriers.” End-users will report TSC printer faults to their VAR or VAD who will
troubleshoot the issue with TSC’s technical team in Germany. Targeted repair times will typically fall within three to seven days of receiving the device, depending on spare parts availability and the type of failure. The satellite centre will repair in-warranty and potentially out-of- warranty printers.
