Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology ("JAIST"; Nomi City, Ishikawa Prefecture ; President: Minoru Terano) and Dell Technologies Co., Ltd. (Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture ; President: Toshihiko Otsuka ) announced JAIST adopted Dell EMC PE R6525 SCS, a supercomputer system based on "Dell EMC PowerEdge R6525", to their new super parallel computer system "KAGAYAKI," and started its full-scale operation in March 2021.
"Dell EMC PowerEdge R6525 SCS" deployed by JAIST is a cluster-type supercomputer system in which 280 Dell EMC PowerEdge R6525 servers with the latest AMD processors are connected by a high-speed interconnect network InfiniBand HDR. Compared to the previous system the performance of new system improved significantly; the theoretical operation performance increased about 2.24 times to 1.49 PFLOPS, the number of CPU cores increased about 1.8 times to 35,840 cores, and the total memory capacity doubled to about 140 TiB. JAIST will further accelerate world-class research and development in advanced science and technology fields such as nanotechnology and data mining. JAIST will also support container-type virtualization and various HPC/AI research environments to help users build complicated computer environment and support the acceleration of research by the user.
