Atos boosts supercomputing power by 10 for Spanish State Meteorological Agency AEMET
Paris (France), Madrid (Spain), February 23, 2021
Atos announces that it has been selected by the Spanish Condition Meteorological Company (AEMET) to source and set up its computing and storage technology, as a result of the tender “Contracting of Supply as a result of leasing without the selection to purchase a Supercomputing Process for the AEMET”. Centered on the BullSequana supercomputing architecture from Atos, the new supercomputer will give virtually 10 moments much more computing potential than the current a person which was mounted in the 2014.
This new supercomputer will strengthen and increase AEMET’s current computing capabilities to boost investigation in various regions this kind of as climate forecasting, local climate change, wave prediction and aid its collaboration with international businesses. In addition, it supports AEMET meet up with the new strategic, technological and assistance provision challenges, this kind of as preparing, supplying and disseminating meteorological info and forecasts, in its 2019-21 Action System, thereby consolidating its presence as a person of the principal meteorological centers in Europe.
“The availability of the new large-performance technique will not only allow for larger computing potential and a reduction in the time vital for the execution of numerical versions, but it will also permit us to improve methods, automate procedures and set in spot detailed strategies, to encourage a much more sustainable architecture.” said Raúl Hilara, Telematics Coordinator of the Condition Meteorological Company at AEMET.
“The simple fact that AEMET has renewed their self esteem in our technological capabilities is testament to our knowledge and we are proud that Atos will keep on to be their reference technology service provider in supercomputing, accompanying them in the new challenges of climate forecasting and local climate change. This new good results strengthens our motivation as a European chief in the meteorology sector. ” said José Camacho, director of HPC & Quantum computing of Atos in Iberia.
This task will consist of the set up of two clusters geared up with much more than fifty,000 cores based mostly on AMD EPYC processor technology, with a potential 5.9 PB of gross storage, joined with a minimal latency interconnect network of two hundred Gbits / sec.
