High Performance Computing (HPC) is a computational domain that aims to solve complex problems through parallel processing. An HPC system of today consists of hundreds to thousands of CPUs connected through a high speed network. A large HPC cluster of servers can be assigned to work on a single large problem simultaneously or several smaller problems. Many HPC applications are currently written to simultaneously take advantage of tens, hundreds, and thousands of cores, resulting in orders of magnitude lower time to solution. Supermicro designs a range of high performance computing solutions to fit every need. Supermicro's HPC solutions are expertly designed, built, and tested by Supermicro professionals. Liquid cooling is available at rack scale for environments where liquid cooling is required.
Many fields can use HPC technologies, including:- Engineering - designing and optimizing new physical products, including automobiles, planes, structures, and consumer appliances.
- Scientific Research - basic and applied research to model climate change, more accurate weather forecasts, galaxy and star formation, and weapons modernization.
- Finance - fast decisions based on very low latency calculations to make trading decisions
- Defense - create battlefield scenarios and produce optimized weapons (engineering)
- Healthcare - design new drugs, create personalized care, and recognize disease causes and possible contributors to these diseases.
The Supermicro HPC Solutions portfolio consists of HPC servers, HPC storage solutions, HPC networking, and life cycle monitoring software. Together, these technologies all contribute towards an entire high performance computing solution that addresses the needs of HPC users.

University of Tsukuba, “Pegasus”
The Center for Computational Sciences at the University of Tsukuba is a multidisciplinary center that partners with many organizations on basic research in several areas. As part of an ongoing project to deliver state-of-the-art computing capabilities to a wide range of researchers, the University of Tsukuba, with NEC (as the prime contractor), has created a supercomputer that will address the computing and storage needs using Supermicro SuperBlade. The system is among the first in the world to use NVIDIA H100 GPUs and 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors.
Osaka University, “The SQUID”
Osaka University worked closely with NEC Corporation and Supermicro to design and implement a new supercomputing class system based on a combination of Supermicro SuperBlade® systems and 4U 8-GPU NVIDIA NVlink® systems, which is built with the 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable Processors. The SQUID system is a 27 Rack cluster that contains 1520 SuperBlades with over 120,000 cores, 42 nodes of the 4U 8 GPU NVIDIA NVLink systems, and was integrated and tested by the Supermicro Rack Integration Services team.
IMS, “The Molecular Simulator”
Japan’s Institute for Molecular Science (IMS) has installed two clusters called the High Performance Molecular Simulator with Supermicro servers interconnected by Intel Omni-Path Architecture. The Molecular Simulator achieves 1.8 petaFLOPS Linpack and 3.1 petaFlops theoretical peak performance through 40588 cores of Intel Xeon processors and 216,768GB of memory, running molecular dynamics’ massively parallel computations and many quantum chemistry’s more demanding serial operations.
LLNL, “Corona”
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) selected Supermicro to provide additional computing capacity and resources for scientists working to find a cure for COVID-19. Supermicro’s 4U 8 GPU servers for this plug-and-play cluster equipped with nearly 1,000 AMD Radeon Instinct™ graphics accelerators and, combined with AMD’s state-of-the-art EPYC™ CPUs, expands the cluster to deliver up to 11 Petaflops of computing power for advanced computational workloads.
