For the first time in history, three supercomputers from one Polish computing center were included on the list of the world’s fastest supercomputers, TOP500. They include Athena, Ares and Prometheus supercomputers operating at the Cyfronet AGH Academic Computer Center.

Athena is currently the fastest supercomputer in Poland and ranks 105th on the list.

In addition, Cyfronet’s three supercomputers were on the Green500 list – the greenest supercomputers, including Athena on the 9th position.

Athena has a theoretical computing power of over 7.7 PetaFlops (7709 TeraFlops). The system installed in Cyfronet AGH in 2021 is to provide the Polish scientific community and economy with the most modern computing resources based on the latest generation GPGPU processors and accelerators along with the necessary data storage subsystem based on very fast flash memory. Athena’s configuration includes: 48 servers with AMD EPYC processors and 1 TB of RAM (6144 CPU compute cores in total) and 384 NVIDIA A100 GPGPU cards.
