Dutch National Institute selects AMD and Lenovo in Coronavirus Fight

General News

▤ Summary

AMD announced a new design win with Lenovo and Nikhef, the Dutch National Institute for Subatomic Physics. Nikhef is dedicating its new and freshly installed compute cluster, currently in its test phase, to calculation efforts to fight COVID-19. The Lenovo ThinkSystem SR655 based DC-extension has been installed to prepare for the increasing data streams coming from CERN, the European Organisation for Nuclear Research, where the Large Hadron Collider particle accelerator is predicted to produce ten times the current volume of data. In the last week, a total of four racks have been delivered and installed, including more than 3800 AMD EPYC compute cores and 31 terabytes of memory. The Corona system will be used by the COVID-19 HPC Consortium, a US public-private partnership that is providing free computing time and resources to scientists around the country engaged in the fight against COVID-19, and by LLNL researchers.
