MinoTauro

MinoTauro is a heterogeneous cluster where the main computational power is provided by NVIDIA GPUS. This cluster is the second most powerful at BSC and it is available as part of the RES resources and as Tier-1 system at the DECI-PRACE calls. The system provides more than 250TFlops in total.

System Overview

MinoTauro is a cluster with NVIDIA GPUs, the cluster is build by BULL and it has 39 bullx R421-E4 servers, each server with:

  • 2 Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 (Haswell) 8-core processors, (each core at 2.4 GHz, and with 20 MB L3 cache)
  • 2 K80 NVIDIA GPU Cards
  • 128 GB of Main memory, distributed in 8 DIMMs of 16 GB -- DDR4 @ 2133 MHz - ECC SDRAM --
  • 120 GB SSD (Solid State Disk) as local storage
  • 1 PCIe 3.0 x8 8GT/s, Mellanox ConnectX®-3FDR 56 Gbit
  • 4 Gigabit Ethernet ports.

The full machine provides a Peak Performance of 250.94  Tflops distribued as  226.98 TFlops (K80) + 23.96 TFlops (Haswell)
