Dzidza zvakawanda nezveFrontier, komputa inokurumidza pasirese

Mazuva mashoma apfuura, mumwe wangu Darkcrizt tuye akaverenga parondedzero yemakombuta anokurumidza pasi rose. Muchinyorwa chino ini ndichakuudza nezve hunhu hwekombuta yekutanga pane iyo rondedzero, iyo iyo United States inowana zvakare hutungamiriri muindasitiri yekombuta.

Ndiri kureva Frontier, iyo yakavakwa zviri pamutemo neOak Ridge National Laboratories yeUS department reMagetsi. Ndinotaura zviri pamutemo chete nekuti zvingava kashoma kuti vatadze kugona kwemidziyo yekushandiswa kwechiuto, asi musanditeerere. Nhasi ndapfeka hat yealuminium

Dzidza zvakawanda nezve Frontier

Kuti tinzwisise zvinotevera muchinyorwa, ngatitangei nekutsanangura mamwe mazwi:

FLOPS: Acronym yeChirungu yekuti Floating Point Operations Per Second.

Sezvatinoona, exaflop yakaenzana neiririyoni inoshanda pasekondi.

Izvo zvakaita kuti Dhipatimendi reEnergy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Frontier supercomputer iri pachinzvimbo chepamusoro sekombuta inomhanyisa pasi rose muchikamu chemakumi mashanu nepfumbamwe cheTOP500 runyorwa. kwaive kuita kwayo kwe1,1 exaflops. Iyo Frontier system inodzika munhoroondo se yekutanga kusvika padanho risingasvikiki rekuita kwekombuyuta inozivikanwa seexascale, tiri kutaura chikumbaridzo che quintillion kuverenga pasekondi.

Zvisinei, vagadziri vayo vanoenda mberi. Frontier ine theoretical yakanyanya kubuda ye2 exaflops, kana maviri quintillion kuverenga pasekondi. zvinoreva simba remakomputa rakapetwa kagumi pane iyo Summit system yakagadziridzwawo neOak Ridge National Laboratories. Hurongwa uhu huchagonesa masayendisiti kugadzira matekinoroji anoshanda kusimba renyika, hupfumi uye kuchengetedzwa kwenyika, zvichibatsira vaongorori kugadzirisa matambudziko akange asingagone kugadzirisa makore mashanu apfuura.

Achitaura nevatori venhau, Thomas Zacharia, director weORNL, anga asina kuzvininipisa chaizvo:

Frontier iri kuunza imwe nguva nyowani yekuwedzera komputa kugadzirisa matambudziko makuru epasirese esainzi.

Ichi chiitiko chakakosha chinopa tarisiro yekugona kusingaenzaniswi kweFrontier sechishandiso chekuwanikwa kwesainzi. Ndiwo mhedzisiro yeanopfuura makore gumi ekubatana pakati pemarabhoritari enyika, academia, uye indasitiri yakazvimirira, kusanganisira iyo DOE (United States Dhipatimendi reMagetsi) Exascale Computing Project, iri kuita maapplication, matekinoroji esoftware, hardware, uye kubatanidzwa kunodiwa iva nechokwadi chekuita pa exascale.

Asi zvakaitwa naFrontier hazvigumiri pakuita.  Yakaiswawo nhamba yekutanga paGreen500 runyorwa, iyo inoyera mashandisirwo esimba uye kugona kweiyo inotengeswa inowanikwa supercomputing masisitimu, nekuita kwe62,68 gigaflops pa watt. Frontier yakatenderedza dhizaini dhizaini nenzvimbo yepamusoro muchikamu chitsva, yakasanganiswa-chaiyo komputa, iyo inoyera mashandiro mumafomati anowanzo shandiswa nehungwaru hwekugadzira, nekuita kwe6,88 exaflops.

Tanga

Kuendesa kwaFrontier, kuisa uye kuyedza basa rakatanga panguva yeCOVID-19 denda. Zvaida vanhu vanopfuura zana kubva kubazi rehurumende nerakazvimirira voga vaifanira kushanda maawa makumi maviri nemana pazuva pamabasa anobvira pakuwana mamiriyoni ezvikamu kusvika pakuvimbisa kuendeswa kwezvikamu zvegadziriro nenguva, kusanganisira kugadzwa nokuyedzwa nokungwarira.100 HPE Cray EX supercomputer cabinets, kusanganisira anopfuura 24 AMD-powered node uye makumi mapfumbamwe mamaira etiweki tambo.

Frontier Zvikamu

• Frontier ine 74 supercomputer makabati HPE Cray EX, yakanyatsogadzirirwa kutsigira mashandiro uye chiyero chechizvarwa chinotevera supercomputing.
• Imwe neimwe node ine yakagadziridzwa EPYC™ processor uye ina AMD Instinct ™ accelerators, kweanopfuura zviuru mazana mapfumbamwe nemazana mana ezviuru zveCPU uye anopfuura zviuru makumi matatu nenomwe eGPU muhurongwa.
• HPE Slingshot, jira repasirese repamusoro-soro reEthernet rakagadzirirwa AI neHPC mhinduro. tekinoroji, kusanganisira yakakura uye data-yakanyanya kuwanda mabasa, kugadzirisa zvinodikanwa zvekumhanya zvakanyanya uye congestion control kuchengetedza maapplication ari kushanda zvakanaka uye kugadzirisa mashandiro.
• Iyo HPE I/O subsystem. Iyo I/O subsystem ine in-system yekuchengetera layer uye Orion, yakagadziridzwa Luster-yakavakirwa musimboti faira system iri zvakare hombe uye inokurumidza pasirese imwe yakafanana faira system.
