The latest addition to the ICTS HPC facility is the 672-cores Dell cluster. This cluster is composed of 15 nodes, installed in the ICTS data center. Of the fifteen, one head node and all others are execution nodes. This is a homogeneous cluster with each node consisting of 96 processing cores with hyperthreading enabled. The cluster nodes are connected using the Mellanox Infiniband switch.
Hardware Overview:
The cluster has 14 nodes and the hardware configuration for each node is as follows:-
-
Compute Nodes:
- Dell PowerEdge C6525 server
- Process Model AMD EPYC 7352, 2 processors (24 cores each) operating at 2.3 GHz clock speed
- 256GB Main Memory DDR4 ECC SDRAM
- 480GB 6Gbps 512 2.5in SSD for OS and system software
- 480GB 6Gbps 512 2.5in SSD mounted as “localscratch” (mount space ~331GB)
-
Master Node:
- Dell PowerEdge R6525 server
- Process Model AMD EPYC 7352, 2 processors (24 cores each) operating at 2.3 GHz clock speed
