Osaka University’s Cybermedia Center (CMC) deployed the SQUID supercomputer, built by NEC with 3rd Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors, to support large-scale interdisciplinary research. Replacing the earlier OCTOPUS system, SQUID offers over 16 petaFLOPS of performance and addresses five challenges: HPC and HPDA integration, cloud bursting, secure computing, tailor-made computing, and data aggregation. With a heterogeneous architecture of CPUs, GPUs, and vector processors, SQUID enhances collaboration, speeds research across disciplines, and enables global data sharing through its ONION infrastructure and DDN EXAScaler storage.
