HSUper

• Please visit the HSUper documentation available on the HPC Portal.

Technical Specifications

The HSUper cluster consists of

• Regular nodes: 571 compute nodes each equipped with 256 GB RAM and 2 Intel Icelake sockets; each socket features a Intel(R) Xeon (R) Platinum 8360Y processor with (up to) 36 cores, yielding a total of 72 cores per node
• Fat memory nodes: 5 compute nodes each equipped with 1 TB RAM and 2 Intel Icelake sockets; each socket features a Intel(R) Xeon (R) Platinum 8360Y processor with (up to) 36 cores, yielding a total of 72 cores per node
• GPU nodes: 5 compute nodes each equipped with 256 GB RAM, 2 Intel Icelake sockets, 2 NVidia A100 (40GB) GPUs and 894GB local scratch storage; each socket features a Intel(R) Xeon (R) Platinum 8360Y processor with (up to) 36 cores, yielding a total of 72 cores per node

Besides, HSUper provides access to a 1PB BeeGFS file system, as well as a 1 PB Ceph-based file system.
All nodes are connected by a non-blocking NVIDIA InfiniBand HDR100 fabric.
