This system is the new pre-exascale Tier-0 EuroHPC supercomputer hosted by CINECA and currently built in the Bologna Technopole, Italy. It is supplied by ATOS, based on a BullSequana XH2135 supercomputer nodes, each with four NVIDIA Tensor Core GPUs and a single Intel CPU. It also uses NVIDIA Mellanox HDR 200Gb/s InfiniBand connectivity, with smart in-network computing acceleration engines that enable extremely low latency and high data throughput to provide the highest AI and HPC application performance and scalability.
