Innovative Server Solutions for HPC Applications

Server requirements driven by HPC applications

• Extreme scalability of compute power

• Specialized CPUs with many cores for highly parallelized applications

• High-density for saving data center space

• Efficient cooling

• Green IT, i.e. best performance per Watt ratio


HPC Use Case

Fundamental research of elementary particles (e.g. quarks) using QCD as one of the fundamental theories of nature

Special research field at University of Regensburg, Theoretical Physics together with University of Wuppertal, and Research Center Juelich

Gain better understanding of the fundamental building blocks of matter and the universe

State and situation of the universe shortly after the big bang

Interpret elementary particles experiments (e.g. at CERN, Geneva)

Huge demand of high-performance computing power

Highly optimized and parallelized application

FUJITSU Server PRIMERGY CX600 M1

The new platform for highly parallel computing

The FUJITSU Server PRIMERGY CX600 M1 is the perfect choice for highly parallel applications in the area of scientific research, product development and artificial

intelligence.

Up to eight server nodes per 2U and Intel® Xeon Phi™ Processors make for new levels of compute density.

Compute Node PRIMERGY CX1640 M1

Customer configuration

1x Intel® Xeon® Phi™ 7210

64 cores, 1.3 GHz, 215W

16 GB Integrated MCDRAM

48 GB DDR4 Memory

2x Gb-Ethernet on board

Intel Omni-Path HCA (100 Gb/s)


Cool-Central® Liquid Cooling Technology

Efficient cooling

The liquid cooling is a direct-to-chip hot water (45 °C / 113 °F) based cooling solution that captures up to 75 % of the PRIMERGY CX600 server heat

Removes heat from Xeon Phi CPU and voltage-regulator-module (VRM) within the server, eliminating the need for chilling to cool these components

Cool-Central® Liquid Cooling Technology is a reliable and effective solution to relieve the burden on data center cooling

Helps to reduce data center cooling costs by over 50 %

Less air needs to be cooled and moved

Liquid cooled systems need less airflow

Allows for 2.5-5x higher data center server density

Low pressure in rack circuit eliminates leakage risks

Returning water is warm enough to enable waste heat recycling

»With the Fujitsu DCMA as a centralized monitoring solution, we can monitor all of our systems at once. This saves time and means we can be much more proactive. There have already been a number of occasions where we have been able to intervene before a problem leads to a breakdown or near miss«

»The intelligent concept allows a significant higher efficiency in IT operations (system management). That fact combined with a short implementation time guarantees a fast return of investment.«

A quick recap

We see a change in provisioning

(Software-defined anything, virtual

anything,…)

Performant core functions will still be

necessary (compute, storage, network,

security, management) to deploy e.g. HPC

Autonomous orchestration of IT resources

pools will be a strategic business driver

Standardization and business process

redesign need to be considered

In the next 5 years we will see the highest rate of change in performance and software-defined infrastructure
