The Sol supercomputer provides ASU researchers access to a state-of-the-art system with an observed GPU-only HPL speed of 2.272 PetaFLOP/s. This short paper provides a motivation for the supercomputer as well as a technical reference of its many components, in the hopes that the implicit template will encourage peer institutions to also generate corresponding publications and foster discussion. The supplemental git repository [2] contains finer details on the system’s configuration and has the ability to be updated as the system evolves.
