Intel Unveils Aurora Specifications: 21,248 CPUs and 63,744 GPUs
- sillywalk 3y agoInteresting that they're using intel GPUs, ~20 Petabytes of RAM. Wow. FTA: "the Aurora supercomputer is outfitted with 10.9 PB of DDR5 system DRAM, 1.36 PB of HBM capacity through the CPUs, and 8.16 PB of HBM capacity through the GPUs. The system DRAM achieves a peak bandwidth of 5.95 PB/s, the CPU HBM achieves a peak bandwidth of 30.5 PB/s and the GPU HBM achieves a peak bandwidth of 208.9 PB/s. For storage, the system is equipped with a 230 PB DAOS capacity that runs at a peak bandwidth of 31 TB/s & is configured in a total of 1024 nodes."
- zamnos 3y agoI mean this is as much advertising that Intel makes GPUs and they perform "as well" as Nvidia's as it is anything else.
- symbolicAGI 3y agoIntel and AMD both need to make LLM inference tools plug n play with their GPUs. Otherwise Nvidia is the default choice when selecting a GPU for local LLM inference. Aurora is working with OpenAI and Azure which is a very positive step in this direction.
