Why is Supercomputing vital to global innovation?

[Paul_Santilli]

Supercomputers have evolved to include not only the largest of large implementations but also enterprise applications as well. The massive, specialized computing capabilities of supercomputing are critical to enabling AI-at-scale, which requires processing, training, and storing large data sets. This capability allows us to build bigger, robust machine learning models needed to accurately predict outcomes and help us make better decisions faster.

Explaining the benefits of exascale, Dr. Niven Narain, CEO and co-founder of Berg Health, an AI-powered biotechnology company, said that exascale supercomputing isn’t just about speed for speed sake, but “speed for human sake". Exascale speed means overcoming previous performance hurdles to unlock scientific insights never possible before, from modeling and simulating interactions more accurately down to the physical, biological, and chemical molecular level, to innovate and solve problems faster.

The speed and capabilities of exascale, ushered in this year with Frontier, a supercomputer built by HPE for the U.S. Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, will enable global researchers, scientists and engineers to answer questions we never knew to ask.

As a supercomputer dedicated to open science, Frontier will also benefit global communities to collaborate on research and take advantage of the resources, including the ability to access larger AI models that be used predict outcomes faster in scientific discovery.

Exascale systems like Frontier will also enable commercial organizations, such as 3M, Boeing, General Electric (GE), General Motors, and Procter & Gamble, which already use the U.S. DOE’s supercomputing resources, to advance R&D to design better and safer products that we all use and benefit from each day.

Our team at HPE is committed to making this a reality by incorporating elements of high-end supercomputing technologies that we used to design and build Frontier, in a smaller footprint or as-a-service through the HPE GreenLake platform.
