HPC2N

Below follows a short description of the HPC2N resources that are available via SNAC. For more information regarding HPC2N, including locally available resources, see the HPC2N web-pages http://www.hpc2n.umu.se.

Abisko - The New HPC2N HPC cluster
Abisko is the new, large, high-performance cluster at HPC2N in Umeå.

The cluster has 15264 cores  with a peak performance of over 150 Tflops/s. For high parallel performance, the system is equipped with a high bandwidth, low latency QDR InfiniBand interconnect, with full bisectional bandwidth. All nodes have at least 2 GB/core and some nodes have over 8 GB/core. The installation of the new cluster will be finalized during November.  For more information about the system and available software see the HPC2N web-pages http://www.hpc2n.umu.se.

Akka - The HPC2N HPC cluster
Akka is a HPC Linux cluster with a peak performance of 50 Tflops/s.

The cluster contains 672 nodes each in a dual quad-core configuration, for a total of 5376 cores. The CPU:s are the Intel L5420 low-power CPU:s running at 2.5 GHz, giving each node a total peak performance of 80 Gflops/s. Each node is equipped with 16 GB RAM for a total of more than 10 Terabytes of RAM. For high parallel performance, the system is equipped with a high bandwidth, low latency InfiniBand interconnect. Scratch storage is provided by a 100 TB disk-subsystem running GPFS. For more information about the system and available software see the HPC2N web-pages http://www.hpc2n.umu.se.
