FREMONT, Calif., Sept. 14, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Penguin Computing, Inc., a division of SMART Global Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:SGH) and leader in high-performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI), today announced that it has been awarded two contracts totaling $68M from the Department of Defense High Performance Computing Modernization Program (DoD HPCMP) to deliver Penguin Computing's TrueHPC supercomputing platform, plus managed services and high-performance storage, to the Navy DSRC and AFRL DSRC sites. Penguin Computing's TrueHPC platforms will provide high-performance computing capability for users from all services and agencies of the Department of Defense (DoD). The balanced HPC systems and software significantly enhance the DoD's ability to tackle the most demanding and computationally challenging problems in fluid dynamics, chemistry and materials science, electromagnetics and acoustics, climate/weather/ocean modeling and simulation, among other applications. Penguin Computing's managed services team will bring additional capability to the DoD in emerging technologies, while also enabling DoD teams to focus on their research. Equipped with the latest generation memory and processing technologies, these complete and highly dense HPC resources will be among the most powerful supercomputers in the DoD HPCMP's resources, providing a combined total of over 365,000 cores, more than 775 TB of memory, and a total of 47 PB of high-performance storage including over 5 PB of high-performance Flash storage. Combined, these two systems provide a peak performance of over 17.6 petaFLOPs. "By implementing Penguin's TrueHPC solution, the DoD HPCMP user community will be able to conduct advanced research for the highly complex problems the user community is tasked with solving," said Sid Mair, president of Penguin Computing. "Through our work with NVIDIA and AMD, we're able to provide the ...Full story available on Benzinga.com
