Deliveries arriving

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is installing AMD's Instinct MI300 accelerated processing unit under the bonnet of its El Capitan supercomputer that is set to come fully online sometime next year.

According to a Tweet, the Lab said that while it is still a way off from "deploying it for national security purposes in 2024, it is exciting to see years of work becoming reality."

El Capitan is based on HPE's Shasta supercomputer architecture and is built by HP Enterprise. The machine is expected to deliver performance than will be higher than 2 ExaFLOPS when it is completed in mid-2024 and should be the world's fastest supercomputer at that time.

According to Tom's Hardware The supercomputer will be based on AMD's Instinct MI300 hybrid processor that carries 24 general-purpose Zen 4 cores, CDNA 3-based compute GPUs, and 128GB of HBM3 memory onboard. The processor is produced by TSMC using one of its nodes that belong to the N5 (5nm-class) family.

AMD has been testing its Instinct MI300 processor internally for months now, but it looks like the company is finally ready to start delivering these parts to one of its key customers.
