ARCHER2, the UK’s National Supercomputing Service, stands as a world-class advanced computing resource for UK researchers. Powered by the HPE Cray EX supercomputing system, ARCHER2 boasts an estimated peak performance of 28 Pflop/s. With 5,848 nodes, each housing dual AMD EPYCTM 7742 64-core processors clocked at 2.25GHz, the machine contains a total of 750,080 cores. Running ARCHER2 requires specialist staff and facilities, along with a massive power supply. The system is capable of over eleven times the scientific throughput of its predecessor, ARCHER.
