Lux is engineered to train, refine, and deploy AI foundation models that accelerate scientific and engineering progress. Its advanced architecture supports data-intensive and model-centric workloads, thereby enhancing AI-driven research capabilities.
Discovery differs from Lux in that it uses Instinct MI430X GPUs instead of the 300 series. The MI400 Series is designed for sovereign AI and scientific applications. It allows the U.S. to develop and deploy AI models on domestically manufactured systems to safeguard national data and competitive standing in science.
Discovery is purpose-built for AI and scientific applications, with peak bandwidth to maximize memory, node, and network bandwidth to enhance performance in science and AI workloads. Discovery builds upon the Frontier system, using the same HPE Cray Supercomputing GX5000 platform on Discovery as used on Frontier, offering a consistent programming environment for users transitioning from previous machines.
