TL;DR

Linus and crew get an exclusive tour of Canada’s $82 million, 640-GPU supercomputer at Simon Fraser University, showing off its insane direct-die liquid-cooling loop (95% heat capture!), EPYC Genoa CPUs with 1.15 TB RAM nodes, HBM3 memory pushing 3.36 TB/s, and Aquatherm tubing feeding 600 kW cooling units and massive evaporative towers. They crack open GPU and 192-core CPU nodes, reveal 800 Gbit NDR networking, and survey 49 PB of HDD plus 2 PB NVMe storage that powers everything from AI to Large Hadron Collider research.

Along the way you’ll see power-delivery secrets, security measures, and the nuts-and-bolts of high-performance computing infrastructure that’s redefining academic research in genomics, physics, and beyond.
