Not quite. CSCS supercomputing center in Switzerland have already started receiving the hardware (https://www.cscs.ch/science/computer-science-hpc/2021/cscs-director-shares-details-about-planned-successor-to-piz-daint/ https://www.cscs.ch/science/computer-science-hpc/2021/cscs-d...). Perhaps, we may see some benchmarks. To wider HPC users, it will be only available in 2023 as the article mentioned.
- titzer 6y agoHopefully some architectural details are forthcoming then! But that is not what is in this article.
- IanCutress 6y agoI suspect that's more racks of storage, not racks of compute. Nothing to suggest it's compute.
- seniorivn 6y agoas i understand it's compute, just not cpu compute, those cpu are designed to be good enough for cuda servers
- DetroitThrow 6y agoHey Ian, I love reading your posts on Anandtech, you're a fantastic technical communicator.
- bdc-hpc 6y agoThe Alps system at CSCS will have racks with different processors, to be installed in phases. CSCS has taken delivery of the first racks with AMD EPYC processors, for non-GPU workloads. CSCS will be one of the first customers to get their hands on Grace Hopper, but they will have to wait until 2023.
