Zeus Alive!

Just few final tests left after hardware / software upgrades, which took place during couple of weeks at the end of October 2016. The major “full blast heat generation” test will be performed on Monday 7/11/2016 to see if the server room survives. If you want to test some of your codes/jobs before then please ask Alex Pedcenko aa3025@coventry.ac.uk to enable your slurm accounts.

What have we got now:

the HPC specs we will have after the latest upgrade:

Old stuff:

  • 144 nodes with 2xIntel Xeon L5530 @ 2.40GHz CPUs (Nehalem 8 CPU-cores/node), 48 Gb of RAM per node: queues all and long
  • 18 nodes with 2xIntel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2440 0 @ 2.40GHz (Sandy Bridge 12 CPU-cores/node) and 2x NVidia Tesla K20 GPUs, 48 Gb RAM:  queue GPU
  • 1 x 32 CPU SMP Machine Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-4620 0 @ 2.20GHz (32 CPU-cores), 512 Gb RAM: queue SMP

Compute nodes of HPC are interconnected with High-Speed QDR Infiniband (40 GBps)

New Broadwell CPU based nodes:

  • 44 nodes with 2 x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2683 v4 @ 2.10GHz (32 CPU-cores/node) 128Gb RAM:   queue Broadwell
  • 10 nodes with 2 x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2683 v4 @ 2.10GHz (32 CPU-cores/node) 128Gb RAM + 2x NVidia K80 GPU:  queue NGPU
  • 2 nodes  with 2xIntel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2683 v4 @ 2.10GHz (32 CPU-cores/node) 128Gb RAM + Xeon Phi coprocessor SE10/7120: queue Phi

2 x 15 Tb file servers (/home and /share)

Outside of zeus HPC

  • One “Big Data Analytics” machine Bullion S2 server, 12 Tb storage, Xeon® processor E7 v3 family, 128Gb RAM

Compute nodes of new HPC part  are interconnected with High-Speed FDR Infiniband fabric (54 Gbps)
