KISTI 4’s second project, the largest local super computer has been going on in earnest.
Therefore, system, which has drawn the biggest interest, will be
supplied by Sun Korea and IBM Korea. They will supply MPP system and
SMP system respectively. And It is expected that fierce competition
between Intel Korea and AMD Korea will unfold over supply right of MPP
processor reaching 20,000 core.
On October 13, KISTI announced that as the establishment of the
first system has finalized, it has begun creation of the second system,
which will operate next year.
KISTI has asked Intel and AMD to submit technical data in order to
select supplier for MMP second system processor. And in order to create
2nd system operation space, it has begun computation offices remodeling
process.
Previously, KISTI was under the goal of establishing 286 teraflops
MMP system and 36 teraflops SMP system at total $61 million. With this,
in the first half, it finished creation of 24 teraflops and 5.9
teraflops system as the first system.
The second project will over the first projects’ cost of
$10million for MPP and $8.5 million for SMP. The second one will be
$20.5 million and $10 million. After preparation process, KISTI will
start SMP 2nd system creation in March next year and start MMP 2nd
system in September.
Among them, MPP 2nd project will be supplied by Sun Korea only for
server, unlike IBM Korea’s supply of all server process. And other
processor hasn’t yet decided.
In the first project, AMD Korea supplied 3008 core scale processors but 21,000 core 2nd project supplier hasn’t decided.
In the early this year, for the second project, Intel seemed to be
likely to be selected as supplier because there were problems for AMD
including delay in chip release. But recently AMD proposed new roadmap
and the industry is paying keen attention on whether there will be any
change in selection. Kim, Joong-kwon, head of super computing center at
KISTI said, “We will select supplier within this year after having
negotiation with Sun Korea, a suppler for BMT and system after
receiving technical data early next month. We will choose a company
that proposes best performing goods at a time of establishment time.”
Intel and AMD showed careful response and said, “It is about clients,
so we can’t disclose our plan including information about proposed
products.”
