HLRS has contracted with supercomputer manufacturer Cray, a Hewlett-Packard Enterprise company, to install a new Cray CS-Storm GPU-accelerated supercomputer to accelerate AI workloads.

The High-Performance Computing Center Stuttgart (HLRS) has contracted with supercomputer manufacturer Cray, a Hewlett-Packard Enterprise company, to install a new Cray CS-Storm GPU-accelerated supercomputer. The new machine will complement HLRS's current infrastructure for high-performance computing by addressing user demand for processing-intensive applications like machine learning and deep learning. The system is designed for artificial intelligence (AI) applications and includes the Cray Urika-CS AI and Analytics suite, enabling HLRS to accelerate AI workloads, arm users to address complex computing problems, and process more data with higher accuracy. The machine will be used in developing AI models in engineering, automotive, energy, and environmental industries and academia.
