BigData partition

The BigData partition (DACP - Data Analytics Compute partition) is made with SMP/NUMA technology, and suitable for jobs with large memory requirements. The partition consits of a HPE Superdome Flex server and 1 node, made up of 3x 5U rack with 4 slots by rack. The system has SMP/NUMA hardware support. The partition name in the system is bigdata.

CPUs

The node contains 16x Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6254 CPU (3.1GHz) each CPU having 18 cores. This ammounts together 288 cores. This processor supports the x86-64 ISA and the AVX-512 extension, alowing for a maximum throughput of 32 double precision FLOP/CLK/core when performing AVX-512 FMA instructions.

Memory

The node is equipped with 4*4*12*64 GB DIMM modulesresulting in 12 TB globally shared memory.

Network

• Infiniband 4x200GbE (active-passive link connections!)

Naming convention

The bigdata node is called sdflex0.
