Cover Story: Efficient Supercomputing – MEGWARE installed the first computer module for the DEEP-EST project
Towards a Modular Supercomputing Architecture for Exascale – The European Union funded research project „DEEP-Extreme Scale Technologies” aims to improve the usability, flexibility and sustained performance of future supercomputing solutions significantly, beyond what can be provided by today’s monolithic systems. The recent installation of the "Cluster Module" at the Supercomputing Center Jülich has brought DEEP-EST one step closer to this goal.
Innovation: Tensor Cores
The DEEP-EST project provides the partners with the opportunity to explore new technologies. Here, we want to present ASTRON's Approach on a Technology called tensor cores.
Figure 1 illustrates how disruptive the tensor core technology is. While the benefits of Moore's law and improved cores are clearly levelling off, the innovative Approach of using Tensor cores can provide even higher Performance.
Introduction Partner Project: CERN
CERN will provide an extreme big-data application drawn from the High Energy Physics domain that will be deployed via DEEP‑EST. It will demonstrate the feasibility of an integrated data refresh and reduction center for deploying dynamic improvements in code and calibration for eventual analysis use at the CMS experiment.
But what does CERN do exactly?

DEEP: A modular supercomputer which adapts to application needs
There’s more than one way to build a supercomputer, and meeting the diverse demands of modern applications, which increasingly combine data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) with simulation, requires a flexible system architecture. Since 2011, the DEEP series of projects has pioneered an innovative concept known as the modular supercomputer architecture, whereby ‘multiple modules are coupled like building blocks’, explains the project’s coordinator Estela Suárez (Jülich Supercomputing Centre). ‘Each module is tailored to the needs of a specific class of applications, and all modules together behave as a single machine,’ she says.
