ASPIRE 2B
Overview
ASPIRE 2B is a heterogeneous system that combines advanced CPU and GPU capabilities on a single platform to support large-scale workloads spanning simulation, data analytics and artificial intelligence. While ASPIRE 2A supports CPU-intensive workloads such as climate modelling, materials science and engineering simulations, and ASPIRE 2A+ strengthens capabilities for AI and accelerated computing, ASPIRE 2B brings these capabilities together at greater scale. This enables more complex and integrated research across climate and weather science, healthcare, materials discovery, advanced manufacturing, next-generation AI and emerging hybrid quantum–classical research approaches.
ASPIRE 2B is ranked 44th (GPU partition) and 184th (CPU partition) in the June 2026 TOP500 list of the World's Fastest Supercomputers.
