In early 2025, just a few months ago, the High-Performance Computing Center Stuttgart (HLRS) introduced “Hunter,” the latest in its line of supercomputing systems designed for complex simulations, data analytics, and AI workloads. Replacing the older “Hawk” system, Hunter marks a significant architectural departure, prioritizing energy efficiency, tight CPU-GPU integration, and scalable performance in heterogeneous workloads.
This week, in collaboration with AMD and HPE, we had the chance to visit HLRS, and were able to explore the hardware, software, and infrastructure underlying Hunter. […]
And it’s liquid cooled too!
Interesting commentary about the cost recovery approach to operating this supercomputer.
Plus not having to conform to .999 uptimes makes a huge difference.
