Computational facilities

Laboratory has modern computational facilities. The equipment is a unique hardware-software complex which can play a role of an initial level private cloud with large oppotunities of expanding. The core of the complex is 2 blade server systems (HP BLc7000) with 16 servers installed (10+6). Each server has two 6-core processors and 16GB of RAM.

Access to services in the cloud is available via self-service panel and allows to:

• create and configure one or a group of HPC (high performance computing) clusters with up to 16 Blade servers available;
• get access to 3 HPC clusters built on GPUs;
• get access to licensing software;
• create and configure one or a group of HA (high availability) clusters with the purpose of commercialization of research results.

The complex has the following performance characteristics:

• There are 10 Blade Servers HP ProLiant BL460c G7 (Nodes);
• All the nodes have the following specification:

      - Two Six-Core Intel Xeon, 3067 MHz;

      - 24576 MB Memory;

      - HP 146GB 6G SAS 10K 2.5in HDD;

      - Two 1 Gbit ethernet cards;

      - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, OpenMPI + Torque;

      - The total amount of more than 192 GB RAM;

      - 9 calculators nVidia® Tesla® C2070 with a total capacity of more than 4500 Gflops for double-precision operations on more than 4,000 CUDA cores;

      - shared storage capacity of more than 7Tb.

Software and hardware system can solve a wide range of problems of high computational complexity at low indicators of energy consumption:

• complex calculations on large-scale graphs;
• analysis and processing of large data sets;
• computational experiments requiring large amounts of memory;
• representation services in a private cloud for external clients.
