HLRE-3

The HLRE-3 ("Mistral") is a high-performance computer system for Earth System Research 3 (HLRE-3), which has been installed in the German Climate Computing Center (DKRZ) in Hamburg since July 1, 2015 .

Technical specifications

HLRE-3 has 3,000 computing nodes of the bullx DLC 720 type. 1,500 nodes each have 2 Intel Xeon E5-2680v3 , 12 cores, 2.5 GHz (" Haswell "), the other 1,500 nodes each have 2 Intel Xeon E5-2695V4 , 18 cores, 2.1 GHz (" Broadwell ").

The main memory has 240 terabytes , the hard disk system comprises 54 petabytes ( Luster ), making it one of the largest in the world.

The peak transfer rate is greater than> 450 GByte / s .

The system has 21 integrated visualization nodes, each with 2 NVIDIA Kepler or Maxwell GPUs .

Computing power

The computing power of the HLRE-3 is 2.54 Peta-FLOPS , the peak performance 3.14 Peta-FLOPS. Although it requires less energy than the HLRE 2, the computing power has been increased 20 times.
