By leveraging our high-performance AMD EPYC server processors, the Atos supercomputer can enable significant improvements in weather forecasting, helping to increase the accuracy of weather predictions around the world,” said Forrest Norrod, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Data Center and Embedded Solutions Business Group. “The real-time data powered by AMD EPYC and delivered by the supercomputer at ECMWF has the potential to decrease the impact of severe weather events on peoples’ lives.”
AMD and Atos have issued joint press releases announcing a partnership with the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) to power its new meteorological supercomputer. Once operational in 2021, the new supercomputer will allow the ECMWF to run predictions at a higher resolution of around 10km.
The new supercomputer will be based on Atos' BullSequana XH2000 high-performance computing platform. The BullSequana XH2000 is a highly scalable, exascale-ready platform that succeeds the original BullSequana X1000. Outside of AMD's 64-core/128-thread Epyc 7742 and Mellanox 200 Gigabit HDR InfiniBand interconnects, there aren't any more specifics regarding the configuration.
