Goethe-HLR
Goethe-HLR is a general-purpose computer cluster based on several CPU architectures. The system was installed in Industriepark Höchst in 2019 and 2020 extended with GPU nodes.
Cluster performance:
- Cluster performance peak: 1,449.98 TFlop/s (with 472 nodes)
- Cluster performance HPL (2018): 958.67 TFlop/s (with 472 nodes)
Hardware:
- 730 compute nodes in water-cooled racks,
- Initially 472 at the end of 2018.
- thousands of CPU cores,
- 864 AMD Radeon Instinct MI50 GPUs,
- 192, 768, 128 or 512 GB of RAM per node,
- EDR and FDR InfiniBand interconnects (2:1 blocking fat tree network),
- a parallel scratch filesystem with a capacity of 2.4 PB and an aggregated bandwidth of 27 GB/s.
