GP3 (Waterloo)

Introduction

L'évaluation du système GP3 n'est pas encore complétée en date du début novembre 2016. Les spécifications anticipées, basées sur l'appel d'offre et les offres reçues sont ci-dessous. Ces informations ne sont pas garanties et pourraient être incomplètes. Elles sont fournies dans une optique de planification.

The parallel filesystem, interconnects and external persistent storage (NDC-Waterloo) will be the same as GP2. There is a slightly different mix of compute nodes. See next section for details.

Node types and characteristics

"Base" compute nodes	Over 500 nodes	128GB of memory each
"Large" compute nodes	Over 100 nodes	256GB of memory each
"Bigmem512" nodes	TBD	512GB of memory each
"Bigmem3000" nodes	TBD	3 TB of memory each

All of the above nodes will have local (on-node) storage.

Compute Canada is not currently able to disclose the specific CPU model or specifications.

GP3 will have GPU's, but Compute Canada is not currently able to disclose specific details. The RFP used NVIDIA K80 as a baseline specification.

The total GP3 system is anticipated to have over 25,000 cores.

The delivery and installation schedule is not yet known.
