Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE: HPE) has developed a supercomputer named after astronomer Robert Grant Aitken designed to help NASA™s Ames Research Center run modeling and simulations to support the space agency™s lunar missions.
The Aitken supercomputer will run simulations of entry, descent and landing at 3.69 petaFLOPs of theoretical performance in support of NASA™s Artemis mission, which seeks to bring astronauts to the moon by 2024, HPE said Thursday.
Aitken is based on the HPE SGI 8600 high-performance computing system integrating Intel™s Xeon Scalable processors, Mellanox InfiniBand and Schneider Electric SmartShelter Containers. It features over 46,000 cores, 221 terabytes of memory and 1,150 nodes.
Aitken is located at NASA Ames™ modular supercomputing facility in Mountain View, Calif., and is a product of the four-year partnership between HPE and Ames.
