With Capella, we are strengthening TU Dresden's leading position as an attractive research location. Thanks to the National High Performance Computing Initiative (NHR), Germany remains on a par with international competitors, and even achieves leading positions, as our system proves. These investments are essential for the future of research.
MEGWARE and TU Dresden have created Capella that not only sets new standards in computational power, but also opens up new horizons
in terms of energy efficiency. The aim was to create a balance between extreme computational power and maximum energy efficiency – without compromising on scalability.
Capella‘s computing nodes are based on state-of-the-art Lenovo servers, which have been specially designed for maximum efficiency and performance in the HPC sector. Each of the more than 140 nodes is equipped with four NVIDIA H100 accelerators and two AMD processors with 32 cores each. This combination enables an impressive peak computing performance of over 38 petaflops.
