Other than HPE, who wants to build OLCF-6 and NERSC-10?

Can #HPC #Cloud providers save DOE from a single vendor procurement?

RFP technical requirements are out for two of the DOE’s next #exascale-class #supercomputers

#HPC #AI

👏👏Notable quote by TPM:

Intel has had quite enough of being a prime contractor for #supercomputers, and CEO Pat Gelsinger has come to his senses & stopped talking about reaching #Zettascale by 2027.

As far as we can tell, that mike drop broke the mike.

And the Raj.

#HPC

TPM's view on other on-prem #HPC vendors for these #Exascale #supercomputers:

o Nvidia is making too much $$ on #AI to care

o Dell: Michael Dell doesn’t like to lose money - TACC
seems to be enough for its #HPC

o No way that Atos or Fujitsu can sell into US government labs

It may be time for #HPC #cloud vendors to join the bid - AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle Cloud

They are better at dealing with the facilities constraints (power, cooling, etc.) and have the capital needed to play at this level

Azure has already won at the UK Met Office
