HPC (HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPUTING)

A Cluster for high-performance computing (High Performance Computing or HPC in English) is a set of nodes connected to each other through a high-speed communications network, which operates under software that acts as a single management system, responsible for distribute workloads between nodes, automatically and transparently to the user as if it were a single computer.

In order to respond to the demand for processing large volumes of information or the need for high computing power, Exacore offers the HYPATIA high-performance computing (HPC) service, an integrated solution that is supported by an 18-node supercomputer (16 CPU nodes and 2 GPU nodes), with the following main features:

    3 servers Dell EMC PowerEdge R6525 (256 GB RAM

    *GPU Nodes: 2 servers Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 (3 NVIDIA RTX6000)

     

  • RAM

     We have approximately 8.6 TB of memory distributed over an average of 470 Gb per node (some nodes have up to 565 Gb of RAM).

  • Storage

    * 2 servers Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 – MDS.

    * 2 servers  Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 - OSS.

    It provides 233 TB of research data storage, operating on the BeeGFS file system (which transparently spreads user data across multiple servers).

CLOUD ON PREMISE
 

ExaCore has a private cloud for the provisioning of large capacity virtual machines. The entire platform is focused on obtaining the best performance from the equipment and providing users with an infrastructure that has all the necessary resources for the most demanding projects. For this reason, the entire assembly of the cloud has been carried out using the suite of VMware products, obtaining the best benefit, support and efficiency from our infrastructure.
