What the buyer wants
A high-performance GPU-accelerated computing partition to be delivered as part of the Discoverer ++ GPU & CPU Partition. The solution is designed to support AI workloads, large-scale simulations, and data-intensive research across a wide spectrum of scientific and industrial domains. LOT 1 should contain two different GPU compute infrastructure with fast interconnect and one AI optimized storage with direct GPU access feature.
The purpose of the Invitation to Tender is to select one (1) economic operator (hereafter “Contractor”) for the component acquisition, delivery, assembly, hardware and software installation and maintenance of an AI-ready EuroHPC machine (“Supercomputer”) to establish an associated “AI Factory” and that will be owned by the EuroHPC JU. The EuroHPC JU will conclude one contract with the successful tenderer in order to acquire, deliver, install and maintain the High-End Supercomputer hosted by the respective Hosting Entity. Therefore, the prospective Contractors should have proven experience of acquiring, delivering, installing and maintaining Supercomputers in similar environments as the ones required in this procurement procedure. The solutions to be procured are expected to outperform existing solutions regarding several of the following aspects: • Performance/TCO; • Programmability and usability; • Versatility; • System stability; • Power and energy efficiency; • Computing density.
