Turkey Enters Top500 with Cutting-edge Supercomputer. 💻🔴
Turkey is on the cusp of making history as it prepares to join the prestigious ranks of the world's top supercomputing nations. The nation's cutting-edge supercomputer, set to be operational in early 2024, is a testament to its commitment to technological advancement and scientific innovation.
Operated by the Turkish National Science e-Infrastructure (TRUBA), the supercomputer is gearing up to enter the esteemed Top500.org list. Boasting an impressive infrastructure with over 500 servers and a whopping 56,448 cores, it places Turkey among the global leaders in advanced computing.
Minister of Industry and Technology, Mehmet Fatih Kacır, proudly announced the imminent service commencement of the supercomputer under TÜBİTAK, highlighting its potential to revolutionize scientific research and product development in the country.
The supercomputer's key features underscore its prowess: a processing power of 56,448 cores, a massive 126 terabytes of memory, and an innovative water-cooling system to handle the immense energy generated. This technological marvel is designed for diverse applications, supporting competitive research, artificial intelligence projects, defense industry endeavors, and academic research.
One noteworthy aspect is Turkey's collaboration in the MareNostrum computer with European countries, including a server center in Spain. While currently absent from the Top500 list, Turkey's involvement in high-performance computing projects showcases its dedication to staying at the forefront of technological advancements.
The supercomputer's 504+ servers revolutionize academic studies and industrial research by enabling rapid operations, fueling high-tech research, AI projects, and precise simulations for new technologies. Its digital twin capability is a game-changer for intricate simulations like calculating air resistance around a jet.
