Intel Nodes

Storage Architecture

There is one storage system providing a large parallel file system based on IBM Spectrum 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 requirements of the configuration.
