Eagle
Microsoft Azure runs Eagle, a cloud AI supercomputer built from ND H100 v5 nodes on Quantum-2 InfiniBand; Microsoft says the benchmarked system was only a fraction of a much larger AI supercomputer it built.
What it runs and how to get time
From the operator- Used for What the operator says the system is used for: science domains, missions or workloads. Taken from the operator, its funder or the system vendor, not from TOP500.
- Large-scale AI model training on Azure AI infrastructure 3
Benchmark and hardware
Source per value- Rank Position in the TOP500 edition named in the Edition column. Historic systems keep the rank of the edition where they last appeared.
- 7 1
- Rmax PFLOP/s Measured double-precision LINPACK (HPL) performance of the listed configuration. Older TFLOP/s and GFLOP/s figures are converted to PFLOP/s.
- 561.2 1
- Rpeak PFLOP/s Theoretical peak double-precision performance of the listed configuration. This is not AI or mixed-precision throughput.
- 846.84 1
- HPL efficiency % Rmax divided by Rpeak: the share of theoretical peak the system delivered on LINPACK. Computed from the two sourced figures.
