The new supercomputer “Blue Lion” is part of the German national HPC infrastructure of the Gauss Center for Supercomputing and will serve a wide range of research projects, combining classic simulations with artificial intelligence. Please read the press release of HPE.
- Blue Lion is scheduled to go live in early 2027 and deliver 30X faster performance than its predecessor SuperMUC-NG – it will be used for astrophysics, particle and quantum physics, fluid mechanics, natural sciences, life sciences and cultural sciences and many other research disciplines
- The new supercomputer is based on next-generation HPE Cray technology and works with next-generation NVIDIA accelerators and processors
- Blue Lion is 100% direct liquid cooled with up to 40°C warm water, enabling the use of waste heat
The Leibniz Supercomputing Center (LRZ) of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities has commissioned Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE: HPE) to build its next high-performance computer, called “Blue Lion”. From 2027 on, Blue Lion will support cutting-edge research in Bavaria and, as a system of the Gauss Center for Supercomputing (GCS), will also be used for outstanding national science projects. The contracts were signed on December 13, 2024. The total costs of 250 million euros (1) are shared by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and the Bavarian State Ministry of Science and the Arts (StMWK).
