Max Planck supercomputer Viper-GPU starting test phase

The second phase of the new supercomputer Viper of the Max Planck Society is now open for early user operation.

The GPU-powered part of the new supercomputer Viper of the Max Planck Society, delivered by Eviden/Atos, is now open for early user operation. This is the second phase of the deployment, initially consisting of 228 GPU nodes based on the new AMD Instinct MI300A APU (accelerated processing unit) processor type, and an IBM SpectrumScale storage solution (HDD and NVMe). Additional nodes will be added in the coming months for a final configuration of at least 300 nodes (600 MI300A APUs).
