Denmark's state-of-the-art AI supercomputer, Gefion, has achieved another global recognition by ranking 7th overall and 4th in the 10-node benchmark on the internationally recognised IO500 list.

丹麦最先进的人工智能超级计算机Gefion在国际认可的IO500榜单中,整体排名第7,10节点基准测试中排名第4,再次获得全球认可。

COPENHAGEN, Denmark, Dec. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Gefion, Denmark's cutting-edge AI supercomputer, has secured a prominent position as the 7th fastest production storage system globally, while also ranking 4th in the 10-node benchmark on the IO500 list, which rates the world's fastest storage systems annually.

哥本哈根,丹麦,2024年12月17日 / PRNewswire / -- 丹麦前沿的人工智能超级计算机Gefion,已在全球生产存储系统中占据第7快的位置,同时在IO500榜单的10节点基准测试中排名第4,该榜单每年评估全球最快存储系统。

This recognition highlights Gefion's exceptional data-handling capabilities, positioning it not only as a standout AI and high-performance computing resource but also as one of the most efficient data-handling systems worldwide.

这一认可突显了Gefion卓越的数据处理能力,使其不仅成为杰出的人工智能和高性能计算资源,也成为全球最有效的数据处理系统之一。

In addition to this achievement, Gefion recently ranked 21st globally on the TOP500 list of the world's most powerful supercomputers, further cementing its status as a high-performance powerhouse.

除了这一成就,Gefion最近在全球最强超级计算机的TOP500榜单中排名第21,进一步巩固了其作为高性能强大的地位。

The IO500 benchmarks evaluate the ability of supercomputers to read, write and transport data at lightning-fast speeds, a crucial factor in modern AI and high-performance computing. Gefion's performance on this list reinforces its reputation as a cutting-edge system, excelling both in computational power and data management efficiency.

IO500基准测试评估超级计算机以闪电般的速度读取、写入和传输数据的能力,这在现代人工智能和高性能计算中是一个至关重要的因素。Gefion在这一榜单上的表现进一步强化了其作为前沿系统的声誉,表现出色于计算能力和数据管理效率。

The significance of this 7th-place ranking lies in Gefion's outstanding input/output (IO) performance — its speed in accessing, retrieving, and storing data. This capability is vital for AI model training and complex large-scale simulations, where processing vast data sets — often measured in petabytes — can be completed in days or hours instead of weeks.

这一第7位排名的重要性在于Gefion卓越的输入/输出(IO)性能——其访问、检索和存储数据的速度。此能力对于人工智能模型训练和复杂的大规模模拟至关重要,在这些情况下处理庞大的数据集——通常以PB为单位——可以在数天甚至数小时内完成,而不是数周。

"Gefion's ranking on the IO500 list is another testament to our commitment to pushing technological boundaries in advanced computing for AI and research," says Nadia Carlsten, CEO of the Danish Centre for AI Innovation (DCAI), which runs and operates Gefion.

“Gefion在IO500榜单上的排名是我们在先进计算、人工智能和研究领域推动科技边界的承诺的又一证明,”丹麦人工智能创新中心(DCAI)首席执行官Nadia Carlsten说,该中心运行和操作Gefion。

"The powerful data storage and processing capabilities of Gefion mean that researchers can run larger, more intricate simulations and process datasets faster than ever," she continues.

“Gefion强大的数据存储和处理能力意味着研究人员可以运行更大、更复杂的模拟,并比以往更快地处理数据集,”她继续说道。

Strong IO performance can directly contribute to breakthroughs in areas such as climate modelling, drug discovery, and sustainable energy research.

强大的输入输出性能可以直接促进气候建模、药物发现和可持续能源研究等领域的突破。

"Gefion is a monumental step forward for AI research and innovation, delivering the scale and precision needed to tackle the most complex challenges in fields like healthcare, sustainable energy, and quantum computing," says Alex Bouzari, Co-founder and CEO of Data Direct Networks (DDN), who is supplying storage for the Gefion AI supercomputer.

"Gefion是人工智能研究和创新的重大进步,它提供了解决医疗保健、可持续能源和量子计算等领域最复杂挑战所需的规模和精度," 数据直接网络(DDN)联合创始人兼首席执行官亚历克斯·布扎里说,他为Gefion人工智能超级计算机提供存储。

"By combining DDN's industry-leading data platform with NVIDIA's groundbreaking technology, Gefion is not only advancing Denmark's leadership in AI but also enabling a new era of scientific discovery and global progress. We're proud to support this world-class initiative, which epitomizes the transformative power of AI and HPC when supported by the right infrastructure", he adds.
