NVIDIA
has announced that the NVIDIA Tesla artificial intelligence (AI)
supercomputing platform powers the top 13 systems on the new Green500 list of the world's most energy-efficient high performance computing (HPC) systems.
All 13 use NVIDIA Tesla P100 data centre graphics processing unit (GPU) accelerators, including four systems based on the NVIDIA DGX-1 AI supercomputer which combines NVIDIA Tesla GPU accelerators with a fully optimised AI software package. NVIDIA has also released performance data illustrating that NVIDIA Tesla GPUs have improved performance for HPC applications by 3X over the Kepler architecture released two years ago. This significantly boosts performance beyond what would have been predicted by Moore's Law, even before it began slowing in recent years.
The Green500 list is topped by the new TSUBAME 3.0 system at the Tokyo Institute of Technology,. This system is powered by NVIDIA Tesla P100 GPUs. It hit a record 14.1 gigaflops per watt -- 50% higher efficiency than the previous lead system, NVIDIA's own SATURNV. SATURNV is No. 10 on the latest list.
Spots two through four on the new list are clusters housed at Yahoo Japan, Japan's National
Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, and Japan's Center for Advanced
Intelligence Project (RIKEN) respectively.
"Researchers taking on the world's greatest challenges are seeking a powerful, unified computing architecture to take advantage of HPC and the latest advances in AI," said Ian Buck, GM, Accelerated Computing at NVIDIA. "Our AI supercomputing platform provides one architecture for computational and data science, providing the most brilliant minds a combination of capabilities to accelerate the rate of innovation and solve the unsolvable."All 13 use NVIDIA Tesla P100 data centre graphics processing unit (GPU) accelerators, including four systems based on the NVIDIA DGX-1 AI supercomputer which combines NVIDIA Tesla GPU accelerators with a fully optimised AI software package.

"With TSUBAME 3.0 supercomputer our goal was to deliver a single powerful platform for both
HPC and AI with optimal energy efficiency as one of the flagship Japanese national
supercomputers," said Professor Satoshi Matsuoka of the Tokyo Institute of Technology. "The
most important point is that we achieved this result with a top-tier production machine of multi-
petascale. NVIDIA Tesla P100 GPUs allowed us to excel at both these objectives so we can
provide this revolutionary AI supercomputing platform to accelerate our scientific research and
education of the country."
