SC16 features ExaScaler and PEZY Computing, along with Vicor's power modules.
The first supercomputer with a performance density of 1.5 petaFLOPS/m3 is unveiled.

At SC16, the high-performance computing, networking and storage trade show in Salt Lake City, Utah, November 13-18, 2016, ExaScaler and PEZY Computing launched the ZettaScaler-1.8, the first supercomputer with a performance density of 1.5 PetaFLOPS/m3 (Rpeak).

ZettaScaler-1.8 is a prototype of ZettaScaler-2.0, which is scheduled for release in 2017 and will have three times the performance of the existing product. The ZettaScaler-1.8 supercomputer is cooled by ExaScaler immersion cooling technology and is powered by 380V-48V and 48V-1V power modules from Vicor (CEO Ki-Cheon Jeong).

At SC16, held from November 13th to 18th, Vicor presented the role of power modules in supporting the development of innovative supercomputing platforms from ExaScaler and PEZY Computing. Operating from 380V DC, ExaScaler's ZettaScaler-1.8 uses Vicor converters to provide a highly integrated, high-efficiency 48V direct-to-PoL current multiplier that meets PEZY Computing's low-voltage, high-current processors.

“ExaScaler and PEZY Computing have achieved significant technological improvements in efficiency and density by employing Vicor’s 380V-48V converter and 48V direct-to-PoL VTM current multiplier,” said Motoaki Saito, founder and CEO of ExaScaler and PEZY Computing.

“Vicor’s modular power system delivers unmatched high performance to ExaScaler and PEZY Computing’s new supercomputing platforms,” said Patrizio Vinciarelli, Vicor founder and CEO.

Meanwhile, during SC16, we will be demonstrating ExaScaler and PEZY Computing technologies at Booth 843.
