科技英語(yǔ)：英特爾Aurora成最快的 AI 系統(tǒng)

Intel, in collaboration with Argonne National Laboratory and Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), has revealed that its Aurora supercomputer has exceeded the exascale computing threshold reaching speeds of 1.012 exaflops to become the fastest AI-focused system.
英特爾與阿貢國(guó)家實(shí)驗(yàn)室和惠普企業(yè) (HPE) 合作，透露其 Aurora 超級(jí)計(jì)算機(jī)已突破百億億次計(jì)算閾值，速度達(dá)到 1.012 exaflops，成為最快的人工智能系統(tǒng)。

“The Aurora supercomputer surpassing exascale will allow it to pave the road to tomorrow’s discoveries,” said Ogi Brkic, Intel’s VP and GM of Data Centre AI Solutions. “From understanding climate patterns to unravelling the mysteries of the universe, supercomputers serve as a compass guiding us toward solving truly difficult scientific challenges that may improve humanity.”
英特爾副總裁兼數(shù)據(jù)中心人工智能解決方案總經(jīng)理 Ogi Brkic 表示：“超越百億億次計(jì)算的 Aurora 超級(jí)計(jì)算機(jī)將為其未來(lái)的發(fā)現(xiàn)鋪平道路。” “從了解氣候模式到揭開宇宙之謎，超級(jí)計(jì)算機(jī)就像指南針一樣，引導(dǎo)我們解決真正困難的科學(xué)挑戰(zhàn)，從而改善人類生活。”

Aurora has not only excelled in speed but also in innovation and utility. Designed from the outset as an AI-centric supercomputer, Aurora enables researchers to leverage generative AI models, significantly accelerating scientific discovery.
Aurora 不僅在速度方面表現(xiàn)出色，而且在創(chuàng)新和實(shí)用性方面也表現(xiàn)出色。 Aurora 從一開始就被設(shè)計(jì)為以人工智能為中心的超級(jí)計(jì)算機(jī)，使研究人員能夠利用生成式人工智能模型，顯著加速科學(xué)發(fā)現(xiàn)。

Groundbreaking work has already been achieved using Aurora, including mapping the 80 billion neurons of the human brain, enhancing high-energy particle physics with deep learning, and accelerating drug design and discovery through machine learning.
使用 Aurora 已經(jīng)取得了突破性的工作，包括繪制人腦 800 億個(gè)神經(jīng)元的圖譜、通過(guò)深度學(xué)習(xí)增強(qiáng)高能粒子物理學(xué)，以及通過(guò)機(jī)器學(xué)習(xí)加速藥物設(shè)計(jì)和發(fā)現(xiàn)。

At the core of Aurora lies the Intel Data Center GPU Max Series, built on the innovative Intel Xe GPU architecture, optimised for both AI and HPC tasks. This technological foundation enables parallel processing capabilities, crucial for handling complex neural network AI computations.
Aurora 的核心是英特爾數(shù)據(jù)中心 GPU Max 系列，該系列基于創(chuàng)新的英特爾 Xe GPU 架構(gòu)構(gòu)建，針對(duì) AI 和 HPC 任務(wù)進(jìn)行了優(yōu)化。 這一技術(shù)基礎(chǔ)實(shí)現(xiàn)了并行處理能力，這對(duì)于處理復(fù)雜的神經(jīng)網(wǎng)絡(luò)人工智能計(jì)算至關(guān)重要。

Details shared about the supercomputer highlight its grand scale, consisting of 166 racks, 10,624 compute blades, 21,248 Intel Xeon CPU Max Series processors, and 63,744 Intel Data Center GPU Max Series units, making it the largest GPU cluster worldwide.
分享的有關(guān)這臺(tái)超級(jí)計(jì)算機(jī)的詳細(xì)信息凸顯了其規(guī)模之大，由 166 個(gè)機(jī)架、10,624 個(gè)計(jì)算刀片、21,248 個(gè)英特爾至強(qiáng) CPU Max 系列處理器和 63,744 個(gè)英特爾數(shù)據(jù)中心 GPU Max 系列單元組成，使其成為全球最大的 GPU 集群。

Alongside the hardware, Intel’s suite of software tools – including the Intel® oneAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler and an array of performance libraries – boost developer flexibility and system scalability.
除了硬件之外，英特爾的軟件工具套件（包括英特爾® oneAPI DPC++/C++ 編譯器和一系列性能庫(kù)）也提高了開發(fā)人員的靈活性和系統(tǒng)可擴(kuò)展性。

Intel is also expanding its Tiber Developer Cloud, incorporating new state-of-the-art hardware and enhanced service capabilities to support the evaluation, innovation, and optimisation of AI models and workloads on a large scale.
英特爾還在擴(kuò)展其 Tiber 開發(fā)者云，整合最先進(jìn)的新硬件和增強(qiáng)的服務(wù)功能，以支持大規(guī)模人工智能模型和工作負(fù)載的評(píng)估、創(chuàng)新和優(yōu)化。

Looking forward, the deployment of new supercomputers integrated with Intel technologies is expected to transform various scientific fields. Systems like CMCC’s Cassandra will advance climate change modelling, while ENEA’s CRESCO 8 supports breakthroughs in fusion energy, among others, underscoring Intel’s dedication to advancing HPC and AI into new realms of discovery and innovation.
