New HPC deployment with SLAC

The National Accelerator Laboratory chooses
2CRSi to explore new technologies

Strasbourg (France), June 22, 2022 - 2CRSi (ISIN: FR0013341781), designer and manufacturer of high-performance, energy-efficient computer servers, announces it has been chosen by SLAC (Stanford Linear Acceleration Center) National Accelerator Laboratory to provide HPC capabilities.

World-renowned SLAC laboratory, operated by Stanford University for the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science, chose 2CRSi Inc., the Group’s US subsidiary, to augment their HPC capabilities.

This multiprogram laboratory explores how the universe works at the smallest, largest, and fastest scales and invents powerful tools used by scientists around the globe. With research spanning particle physics, astrophysics and cosmology, materials, chemistry, bio- and energy sciences and scientific computing, SLAC helps to solve real-world problems.

This 2CRSi solution leverages the latest AMD technology and will be delivered and deployed before the end of 2022.

“Having worked with Stanford U in the past, it has been a long-time dream to finally be selected by SLAC Laboratory to work on their HPC Architecture. That our technology and team make a difference for such a prestigious institution proves that 2CRSi competes among the key players in the HPC World. It also represents further testimony that our values of more sustainable, energy-efficient, locally produced hardware can help tackle critical issues linked to COVID, shortages and geopolitical context.”, says Alain Wilmouth, co-founder of 2CRSI.
