Stampede3: TACC's Enhanced Supercomputing System Boosts Work Efficiency
Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Next Platform
The Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) is developing Stampede3, the successor to its capacity-class supercomputer Stampede2. Stampede3 will be a hybrid machine, featuring various Intel CPUs across different generations, as well as experimental nodes equipped with Ponte Vecchio Max Series GPU accelerators. The new system aims to improve performance and efficiency, with the addition of Sapphire Rapids processors with HBM2e memory offering up to a 2X performance improvement compared to regular Sapphire Rapids CPUs. The Stampede3 machine is expected to have nearly 4 petaflops of peak FP64 performance and will utilize Omni-Path networking and Vast Data's all-flash storage system.
