Finland’s IT Center for Science, also known as CSC, is spending big on updating its high performance computing, bringing a new supercomputer online with 200,000 AMD Zen 2 CPU cores. That’s phase two of the process, with the primary phase consisting of an air-cooled BullSequana X400 cluster with a whole bunch of Intel’s Cascade Lake chips that is meant to be capable of a theoretical 2 petaflops of processing power. That’s due to be brought online in the summer of next year, while phase two of the vast supercomputer array will see CSC set up 3,125 64-core AMD EPYC chips in a liquid-cooled BullSequana XH2000 machine. Phase two is due for completion by the start of summer in 2020, and will add around 6.4 petaflops of processing power to the already pretty beefy setup. And in order to get all this done Finland is investing $41.8 million in improving it’s super high-end processing capabilities. And giving itself one hell of a gaming rig into the bargain... which will still probably struggle with Deus Ex: Mankind Divided at 4K.
