Mellanox® Technologies, Ltd. announced that HDR InfiniBand has been selected by Meteo France to accelerate two new large-scale supercomputers, based on Atos’s latest BullSequana XH2000 technology. HDR InfiniBand ConnectX®-6 adapters, Mellanox Quantum™ switches and LinkX cables and transceivers will interconnect nearly 5000 Atos BullSequana server blades and NetApp storage platforms, delivering high throughput and extremely low latency connectivity. Meteo France is the French national meteorological service, providing weather forecasting services for many companies including transport, agriculture, energy and others, as well as to a large number of media channels and world-wide sporting and cultural events. The two new supercomputers will offer a 5.6 times compute power speedup, compared to Meteo France’s existing platforms. The BullSequana XH2000 is a highly energy-efficient platform utilizing its patented water-cooled DLC (Direct Liquid Cooling) solution, which minimizes global energy consumption by using warm water up to 40°C.
