Just noticed what I think to be a unit error shouldn’t it be terabytes instead of petabytes in “69.6 petabytes of HBM3 stacked memory”?

The exascale in the title is for dramatic effect and refers to the generous low precision metrics, not FP64, of course.

Stuttgart University’s CPU-only Hawk (HPE, EPYC) is currently the 3rd fastest HPC machine in Germany, after the JUWELS Booster (Eviden, EPYC+A100), and the SuperMUC-NG (Lenovo, Xeon). It sits at #42 on HPL, #39 on HPCG, and #107 on Green500. With its MI300As, Hunter will be a nice update, with great opportunities to research mixed-precision code and related speedups. The space savings might even be used for a small experimental kitchen specializing in delicious Maultaschen (for the students!)! (eh-eh-eh!).

I do wonder though, if €115 million will get them all the way to ExaFlopping. If so, it seems that it would be quite a bargain compared to today’s machines, except Aurora (maybe the new MI400As will help there)!
