It also features AMD Epyc CPUs and 63.5PB of storage.<\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"1j9fj\">The new system is also expected to be connected to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.datacenterdynamics.com\/en\/news\/quantinuum-signs-mou-with-singapore-to-support-city-states-quantum-sector\/\">Quantinuum\u2019s Helios quantum computer<\/a>, with a targeted installation in Singapore near the end of this year.<\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"fdm6o\">Dr Terence Hung, chief executive of the National Supercomputing Centre (NSCC) Singapore, said: \u201cAspire 2B reflects Singapore\u2019s ambition to strengthen its position in trusted AI and advanced computing. It provides researchers with the compute capabilities needed to tackle larger and more complex challenges in areas critical to Singapore\u2019s future, including healthcare, sustainability, and urban resilience. As NSCC marks its 10th anniversary, Aspire 2B also strengthens NSCC\u2019s role as a strategic national HPC partner. It will support research innovation, strengthen talent and capability development, and enable the next phase of Singapore\u2019s AI and compute-driven research ambitions.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"w-block-auto_featured_content block-auto_featured_content\">\n<div class=\"panel panel--plain\">\n<h2 class=\"panel__title\">More in HPC &amp; Quantum<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"plain-list flex-container\">\n<li class=\"column--third\">\n<article class=\"card taxonomy channel-management-operations\">\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"column--third\">\n<article class=\"card\">\n<div class=\"card__image\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Q-Factor\" height=\"185\" src=\"https:\/\/media.datacenterdynamics.com\/media\/images\/QFactor-Team-1536x1024.2e16d0ba.fill-280x185.jpg\" width=\"280\" \/>\n<div class=\"card__overlay\">\n            <time datetime=\"2026-04-08\">08 Apr 2026<\/time><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"column--third\">\n<article class=\"card\">\n<div class=\"card__image\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Data center Getty Images\" height=\"185\" src=\"https:\/\/media.datacenterdynamics.com\/media\/images\/GettyImages-1372291575.2e16d0ba.fill-280x185.jpg\" width=\"280\" \/>\n<div class=\"card__overlay\">\n            <time datetime=\"2026-01-22\">22 Jan 2026<\/time><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"w-block-auto_featured_content block-auto_featured_content\">\n<div class=\"panel panel--plain\">\n<h2 class=\"panel__title\">More in Southeast Asia<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"plain-list flex-container\">\n<li class=\"column--third\">\n<article class=\"card\">\n<div class=\"card__image\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Bangladesh towers\" height=\"185\" src=\"https:\/\/media.datacenterdynamics.com\/media\/images\/GettyImages-1479855940.2e16d0ba.fill-280x185.jpg\" width=\"280\" \/>\n<div class=\"card__overlay\">\n            <time datetime=\"2026-04-24\">24 Apr 2026<\/time><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"column--third\">\n<article class=\"card\">\n<div class=\"card__image\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"KL1 data center\" height=\"185\" src=\"https:\/\/media.datacenterdynamics.com\/media\/images\/KL1_data_center.2e16d0ba.fill-280x185.png\" width=\"280\" \/>\n<div class=\"card__overlay\">\n            <time datetime=\"2026-05-15\">15 May 2026<\/time><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"column--third\">\n<article class=\"card\">\n<div class=\"card__image\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Mapping emerging data center markets in Southeast Asia\" height=\"185\" src=\"https:\/\/media.datacenterdynamics.com\/media\/images\/Mapping_emerging_data_center_marke.96a6f11a.fill-280x185.png\" width=\"280\" \/><\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new national supercomputer has launched in Singapore.
