Supernova - computing cluster installed at WCNS, part of PRACE Tier-1 infrastructure and EGI via PL-Grid initiative. All nodes are based on x86_64 (Intel Core micro Architecture, EM64T).

Part of the cluster is accessible through PRACE as Tier-1 machine, the following description refers to this part.

Cluster hardware components:

  • access node
  • service nodes
  • 404 computational nodes (wn329 - wn732),
  • computational network - Infiniband DDR fat-tree full-cbb,
  • management network - gigabit ethernet.

Computational resources:

  • 4848 CPU cores,
  • >9,5 TB RAM (2GB/core)
  • ~247 TB disk space (40 TB NFS + 207 TB Lustre),
  • node to node communication: throughput 20Gbps, latency < 5 us.
