System Architecture
The bwForCluster Helix is a high performance supercomputer with high speed interconnect. The system consists of compute nodes (CPU and GPU nodes), some infrastructure nodes for login and administration and a storage system. All components are connected via a fast Infiniband network. The login nodes are also connected to the Internet via Baden Württemberg's extended LAN BelWü.
Operating System and Software
- Operating system: RedHat
- Queuing system: Slurm
- Access to application software: Environment Modules
Compute Nodes
AMD Nodes
Common features of all AMD nodes:
- Processors: 2 x AMD Milan EPYC 7513
- Processor Frequency: 2.6 GHz
- Number of Cores per Node: 64
- Local disk: None

| Coprocessors | - | - | 4x Nvidia A40 (48 GB) | 4x Nvidia A100 (40 GB) | 8x Nvidia A100 (80 GB) | 8x Nvidia H200 (141 GB) |
| Number of GPUs | - | - | 4 | 4 | 8 | 8 |
| GPU Type | - | - | A40 | A100 | A100 | H200 |
The lines marked in blue are in particular relevant for Slurm jobs.
Storage Architecture
There is one storage system providing a large parallel file system based on IBM Storage Scale for $HOME, for workspaces, and for temporary job data.
Network
The components of the cluster are connected via two independent networks, a management network (Ethernet and IPMI) and an Infiniband fabric for MPI communication and storage access. The Infiniband backbone is a fully non-blocking fabric with 200 Gb/s data speed. The compute nodes are connected with different data speeds according to the node configuration. The term HDR100 stands for 100 Gb/s and HDR200 for 200 Gb/s.
