Supercomputers

1. Summit, an IBM AC922 system, links more than

27,000 NVIDIA Volta GPUs with more than 9,000 IBM
Power9 CPUs to provide unprecedented opportunities
for the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and
scientific discovery. Summit was the first supercomputer to reach exaflop (a quintillion
operations per second) speed, achieving 1.88 exaflops during a genomic analysis and is
expected to reach 3.3 exaflops using mixed-precision calculations. The Summit
supercomputer provides scientists and researchers the opportunity to solve complex tasks in
the fields of energy, artificial intelligence, human
health and other research areas.

2. LUMI is the fastest supercomputer in Europe and the

third fastest globally. LUMI has an astounding storage
of 118 petabytes and an impressive aggregated I/O
bandwidth of 2 terabytes per second. LUMI is using 100% hydro-powered energy. Up to
200MWs are available. The waste heat of LUMI produces accounts for about 20 percent of
the district heat of the area. LUMI is promoting a green transformation. LUMI is an
ecosystem for high-performance computing, artificial intelligence, and data-intensive
research, which enables breakthroughs in several branches of academic research.

3. Leonardo is a step forward towards providing exascale

computing capabilities to researchers across Italy and
Europe. Leonardo aims at maximum performance and
can be classified as a top tier supercomputing system in
Europe. The system combines the most advanced
computing components to be able to address even the
most complex computational workflows, possibly involving HPC, AI, high-throughput, and
visualization applications. Leonardo system is capable of nearly 250 PFlops and equipped
with over 100 PB of storage capacity. The system will provide 10 times the computational
power of the current Cineca flagship system Marconi100. The supercomputer will be used
for a broad range of scientific research, including drug discovery, space exploration, and
weather modeling.

4. The Analytics, Computing, and Complex Systems

(ACCeSs@AIM) Laboratory is a R&D laboratory in Makati,
Metro Manila, Philippines. It is situated within the Asian
Institute of Management (AIM).ACCeSs@AIM is AIM's first
data science R&D consulting arm. It houses full-time research
scientists and research engineers and hosts the fastest
supercomputer in the Philippines, among the fastest in
Southeast Asia. ACCeSs is envisaged to lead and advocate for
the use of complex systems science, data analytics, artificial
 intelligence, and computational models to support innovation in industries, government
agencies, and other sector

1. Sunway TaihuLight is currently the third most powerful

supercomputer in the world. It is located at the
National Supercomputing Center in Wuxi, China. The
machine was developed by the National Research
Center of Parallel Computer Engineering and
Technology and has a processing power of 93
petaflops. It is used for research in various fields,
including climate modeling and earth system science.
TaihuLight will be used for climate, weather, and earth systems modeling; life science
research; manufacturing; and data analytics
2. Frontera is currently the fifth most powerful
supercomputer in the world. It is located at the Texas
Advanced Computing Center in Texas, USA. The
machine was developed by Dell and has a processing
power of 23.5 petaflops. It is used for research in
various fields, including particle physics and earth
science. Frontera provides a balanced set of
capabilities that supports both capability and capacity
simulation, data-intensive science, visualization, and data analysis, as well as emerging
applications in AI and deep learning.
3. Piz Daint is the sixth most powerful supercomputer in
the world. Named after Piz Daint, a prominent peak
in Grisons that overlooks the Fuorn pass, this
supercomputer is a Cray XC30 system and is the
flagship system for national HPC Service. It is located
at the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre in
Switzerland. The machine was developed by Cray and
has a processing power of 21.2 petaflops. It is used
for research in various fields, including materials science and computational fluid dynamics.
4. The Analytics, Computing, and Complex Systems
Laboratory at the Asian Institute of Management
(ACCeSs@AIM) houses a supercomputer that’s the
fastest in the Philippines, with computing speeds of
up to 1.2 petaflops. This computer was donated by
Stan Shih, Acer Group Co-Founder and Honorary
Chairman, and Chairman of Stan Shih Foundation, in
2018. The donation was made to support the upgrade
of educational facilities and equipment at the Asian Institute of Management (AIM) at its
then newly established Analytics, Computing and Complex Systems Lab, which leads and
promotes data science, artificial intelligence, and various computational models to drive
innovations.
