Apparently, the ARCHER2 supercomputer is mainly CPU-only. "The system is designed to be a CPU-only beast, though it will include 16 AMD GPUs connected to four compute nodes just in case someone needs the acceleration." theregister.co.uk "Apparently though, the UK has decided to follow in the footsteps of the Japanese government, whose approach is to deploy separate machinery for numerical simulations and AI/machine learning. For example, a GPU-dense system, like the AI Bridging Cloud Infrastructure (ABCI) supercomputer, is geared mostly for machine learning workloads, while the country’s first exascale machine, the Post-K supercomputer, will be powered exclusively by a vector-enhanced Arm processor, and will be devoted to traditional HPC work." nextplatform.com
