South Korea is to turbocharge its scientific and AI aspirations with the Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information (KISTI) choosing Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) to construct the nation's largest and most powerful supercomputer. The new machine, KISTI-6, will provide an astonishing 600 petaflops of peak compute-more than half an exaflop-making it a national high-performance computing and artificial intelligence powerhouse.
 
Key Highlights:
  • KISTI signed a $270 million (382.5 billion won) agreement with HPE to deploy the KISTI-6 supercomputer by the first half of 2026, along with five years of maintenance and support. It will be South Korea's sixth state supercomputer and will replace the existing Nurion system.
  • KISTI-6 will be constructed on the HPE Cray Supercomputing EX4000 platform with two primary partitions: one comprised of NVIDIA GH200 Grace Hopper Superchips and another consisting of 5th Gen AMD EPYC processors. The system will contain 8,496 NVIDIA GPUs, allowing for huge AI training, simulation, and scientific workloads.
  • The supercomputer will utilize a 100% fanless direct liquid cooling mechanism, optimizing energy efficiency and sustainability while facilitating high-density computing.
  • HPE Slingshot Interconnect 400 will provide 400 Gbps data transfer rates, enabling efficient scaling for data-intensive research and AI applications.
The project is expected to serve a wide range of users-research institutes, universities, and commercial organizations-throughout Korea, driving scientific research, engineering, and sovereign AI innovation.
 
By this deployment, South Korea enhances its position in the global supercomputer ranking and leads the development of next-generation AI and high-performance computing.
