Eviden has launched the BullSequana XH3500, its latest supercomputer designed to support the combined needs of high-performance computing and artificial intelligence workloads. The system is built to scale to future performance requirements and integrates updated hardware with a supporting software and application ecosystem to help organizations advance research, industrial development and AI applications.
Building on over two decades of HPC leadership, Eviden introduces the BullSequana XH3500 as a natural progression from the BullSequana XH3000, refining its hybrid computing strategy and harnessing the technological foundations laid by its predecessor.
With enhanced performance, energy-efficiency and scalability, the BullSequana XH3500 is at the center of a broader, integrated ecosystem of software, services, and expert support. This ecosystem brings tEviden Unveils its BullSequana XH3500ogether the critical elements of deployment, optimization, and innovation into a cohesive framework, accelerating time-to-value and enabling organizations to navigate the evolving landscape of HPC and AI with greater agility and confidence.
Compared to its predecessor, the BullSequana XH3500 delivers over 80% more electrical power per square meter and 30% greater cooling capacity per kilowatt, all within the same rack footprint. These improvements enable industry-leading performance density and energy efficiency, empowering organizations to meet growing computational needs without expanding data-center space and, therefore operating in a more sustainable way and significantly reducing cooling power requirements and overall environmental impact.
The BullSequana XH3500 also offers unparalleled flexibility thanks to its open, modular design. Customers can freely mix and match different computing, acceleration, and networking technologies to tailor configurations to their specific needs – from simulation and modeling to large-scale AI training. By ensuring full technology freedom and eliminating vendor lock-in, this unique approach allows seamless integration of next-generation processors and interconnects as they become available, while protecting long-term investments.
As more computing power implies more heat, energy efficiency and cooling are critical to the BullSequana XH3500’s design, the leading system to address AI factories’ frugality needs. The system features 100% fan-less 5th generation Direct Liquid Cooling (DLC) with warm water support (40°C / 104°F facility supply), enabling significant reductions in total cost of ownership (TCO) and supporting heat reuse and free-cooling strategies for greener operations. Complementary software tools provide intelligent power and resource management, dynamically optimizing performance and energy use in real time.
