Lenovo Introduces New Energy-Efficient Supercomputers

Lenovo, the world’s top supercomputer provider, has introduced powerful new technologies designed to improve energy efficiency and accelerate computing for AI driven projects. 

These innovations, presented at Supercomputing 2024 (SC24), aim to help researchers, scientists, and industries take AI to the next level. Lenovo’s new systems will allow businesses to unlock the full potential of AI while supporting scientific advancements in areas like medicine, energy, and more. 

One of the key advancements is Lenovo’s 6th Generation Neptune® Liquid Cooling, which is designed to cool supercomputers much more efficiently than traditional air cooling. Instead of using energy-hungry fans, these new systems use liquid to remove heat, which saves a lot of energy.

The systems are also compact, fitting into standard 19-inch racks, so they can be easily added to existing data centers without requiring special modifications.

Scott Tease from Lenovo explains that this means data centers won’t need reinforced floors or special power setups to use these systems, making them easier and more affordable to adopt. 

The new ThinkSystem SC777 V4 Neptune and ThinkSystem SR675 V3 servers use the latest processor and accelerator technologies to support large AI models and speed up product development.

These platforms, powered by the fNVIDIA GB200 Grace Blackwell NVL4 Superchip and NVIDIA H200 NVL, offer high-performance computing that is also energy-efficient. This makes it easier for companies of all sizes to use AI for their projects and bring products to market faster.

Lenovo’s water-cooled technology also supports global sustainability efforts. For example, ENEA, Italy’s energy agency, selected Lenovo to install a supercomputer for clean energy research, especially nuclear fusion.

Lenovo’s Energy-Efficient Cooling Technology

Lenovo’s Neptune cooling system captures up to 98% of the heat produced by the supercomputer, saving energy that would otherwise be used by fans. Another example is Cineca, a university group that partnered with Lenovo to install an HPC system for fusion energy research, reducing cooling energy consumption by 15%.

For companies without their own cooling infrastructure, Lenovo also works with colocation providers to offer Neptune®-ready infrastructure for private AI workloads. This setup helps businesses run AI models efficiently, saving energy and improving overall performance.

In short, Lenovo’s new supercomputing technologies offer businesses a way to speed up AI research and development while using energy efficient systems that help achieve sustainability goals.
