Thursday, May 18, 2023
BROOMFIELD, Colo. - Liqid, the global leader in composable disaggregated infrastructure (CDI) solutions, proudly announces the successful delivery and acceptance of the largest composable supercomputers by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). Liqid served as the prime contractor for the $32 million contract, delivering two systems to the Army Research Laboratory DoD Supercomputing Resource Center (ARL DSRC). These systems boast the largest composable GPU pools worldwide, with 360 NVIDIA A100 GPUs. This unprecedented capability enables the ARL DSRC to meet their high-performance computing needs with exceptional speed and flexibility, seamlessly provisioning, scaling, and reallocating GPUs on-demand via software. The operations will be overseen by the High Performance Computing Modernization Program (HPCMP), which provides HPC resources, expertise, and infrastructure to support the scientific, engineering, and computational needs of the DoD.

The ARL DSRC is an advanced facility dedicated to supercomputing and computational science, serving a diverse and extensive user base within the DoD research, development, test, and evaluation (RDT&E) communities. Located at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, it operates under the Combat Capabilities Development Command (CCDC), U.S. Army Research Laboratory, Computational and Information Sciences Directorate (CISD). The CCDC ARL DSRC's primary mission is to provide world-class high-performance computing, advanced networking, and computational science tools, along with unparalleled expertise, to support the RDT&E efforts of the DoD.

The two Liqid composable supercomputers at the ARL DSRC are named "Jean" and "Kay" in honor of Jean Bartik and Kay McNulty, esteemed programmers of the pioneering ENIAC, the first programmable general-purpose electronic digital computer in the U.S.
