In today’s world, supercomputers have become an indispensable asset for developed countries. The rate of growth and importance of supercomputers increases daily, and more countries are turning to these facilities. The University of Kurdistan Supercomputer Center itself indicates that the importance and necessity of supercomputers are strongly felt among academic communities.
The reason for universities’ pioneering role in establishing supercomputer centers is their impact on the further growth of knowledge. Supercomputers in scientific and research environments provide the opportunity for individuals to simulate their ideas at minimal cost. The University of Kurdistan Supercomputer Center has provided such an opportunity to researchers in the western region of Iran.
Recognizing the countries with high scientific and executive power in the field of supercomputers, as well as finding the position of our beloved country Iran to improve this position globally, is very important. In the following, along with introducing the University of Kurdistan Supercomputer Center, some brief information about supercomputers is provided. It is hoped that this article will be useful for the audience.
Recognizing the leading countries in the field of supercomputing is of great importance for researchers. Knowing these points is as important as information about the University of Kurdistan computational server. Global information is placed alongside information about the most accessible operational unit. This range of information is very important for leading individuals in the field of supercomputing.
Introducing the World’s Top Supercomputers
In this section, based on statistics from the top500 website, we will introduce some of these countries. This introduction is in order from rank one to rank 10. In this ranking, the year of production and registration in the global ranking was not important, but the power of the supercomputer was measured. The University of Kurdistan Supercomputer Center is also making every effort to improve the power level of its center. The global ranking is given below.
The first rank of the supercomputer in the world belongs to Japan named Fugaku, this score was obtained in 2020. Then, it is introduced in order to rank ten. Summit belongs to the United States of America in 2018, Sierra (United States) and 2018, and Sunway TaihuLight was registered by China in 2016. The fifth position belongs to Perlmutter in 2021 in the United States of America, followed by Selene in the United States in 2020, Tianhe-2 in 2013 in China, JUWELS in 2020 in Germany, HPC5 in 2020 in Italy, and Frontier in 2019 in the United States.
The University of Kurdistan High-Speed Processing Center has also set its goal to maximize improvement to the best of its ability and allocate credit.
After introducing the top 10 supercomputers in the world, the power of the United States in this field is shown by obtaining 5 out of these top 10 positions. In addition to knowing the best, knowing our position in the world is also important. Iran has obtained two positions, 108 and 160, in the field of supercomputing. These two positions belong to Amirkabir University of Technology and Isfahan University, respectively. The University of Kurdistan parallel and network processing laboratory also cooperates with Amirkabir Center, which is a pioneer in the field of supercomputing in Iran.
These two positions are an opportunity to further highlight our presence internationally. The University of Kurdistan Supercomputer Center is also constantly striving to improve its service level and capacity for the use of various groups.
The decision to establish a computing center at the University of Kurdistan was made in 1396 (Iranian calendar, approximately 2017) by the then-president of the university. The computing model of the University of Kurdistan Supercomputer Center is considered cloud-based. Based on this model, access to computing resources, applications, and remote storage resources is possible, and people are prevented from getting involved with management and implementation systems. The advantages of the University of Kurdistan Cloud Processing Center include:
The University of Kurdistan High-Speed Processing Center currently includes 8 16-core processors with 512 gigabytes of main memory and 10 terabytes of storage memory.
The use of supercomputers is expanding every day, and the need for it is increasing more and more due to the speed of the world’s growth. The possibility of renting the parallel and high-speed processing system of the University of Kurdistan is an opportunity for people to benefit from its services. This center provides services to faculty members, students, and researchers at the university level. The service tariff rate is given below.
Tariff for hourly service in Rials: 18240 Rials per processing core, 290 Rials per gigabyte of RAM, and pricing for disk space is not provided in the text.
The University of Kurdistan Cloud Processing Center has considered service discounts for various groups. A 75% discount is considered for students and faculty members of the University of Kurdistan, 40% for companies located in the University of Kurdistan growth center, and 30% for students and faculty members of other universities. The University of Kurdistan computational server is ready to provide services to researchers.
The University of Kurdistan Supercomputer Center located in Sanandaj is a suitable research opportunity for researchers in the western region of the country. If you live in the western region of the country, you can take full advantage of the University of Kurdistan High-Speed Computing Center. The expansion of supercomputer services across the geographical area of Iran will lead to greater growth and prosperity of talents.
The University of Kurdistan parallel and network processing laboratory has provided the possibility of renting the system for people who want to use a supercomputer. The University of Kurdistan HPC high-speed processing system has made every effort to provide a powerful center worthy of researchers and is always alongside capable scientific individuals. If you need to obtain more information and rent the parallel and high-speed processing system of the University of Kurdistan, you can do so through the Amirkabir Simulators website.
In this section, an attempt has been made to answer a few of the frequently asked questions of the audience about supercomputers. The answers are key and brief, and their detailed explanation should be obtained either through this article or by using expert consultations from Amirkabir Simulators Company.
