Stony Brook University has upgraded its Seawulf supercomputer, making it the first U.S. academic system to use Intel® Xeon® CPU Max Series with High-bandwidth Memory (HBM). Built by HPE with 94 nodes of ProLiant DL360 Gen11 servers, each featuring dual Xeon® Max 9468 processors, the new partition delivers up to 1.86 petaFLOPS. Researchers benefit from up to 3.5x higher sustained memory bandwidth and improved thread scaling compared to DDR. With enhanced deep learning performance using Intel® oneAPI Deep Neural Network Library, Seawulf advances Stony Brook’s research capabilities in computational science and AI.
