ARM HPC Server

SIE Ladon has long had ARM HPC Server platforms based on ARM Applied Micro single socket platforms. Now we are launching the new 1-socket, 2-socket and dual-twin ARM Cavium Thunder X platforms. Each ARM v8 Cavium Thunder X v8 processor delivers 48 each and a clock speed of 2 Ghz and 16 MB of L2 cache. This represents 96 ARM cores per node, with 40G and 10G connectivity and DDR4 ECC memory.

All equipment includes remote management through a standard Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 port, which allows remote bios update and access to all equipment functionalities.

In addition, these new platforms have 6 Gb/s SATA and 12 Gb/s SAS connectivity and have a mezzanine slot for Infiniband and other possible connectivity.

With the new ARM v8 generation, we can address high-power and high-density HPC solutions, offering much lower power solutions, offering much lower power consumption (from 310 W to 190 W) than Intel platforms and at a lower cost (from 4,200 euros to 1,800 euros).

    1 SOCKET: SIE Ladon ARM 1C

    Sie Ladon ARM 1C, is based on the Gigabyte R120-T30 platform. It has a total of 48 cores at 2 Ghz, in 28nm technology. This solution allows memory capacities from 64 GB to 1 TB. It comes standard with 4 10G SFP+ Ethernet connections and a 40G QSFP+ connection, enabling high connectivity for both HPC and Cloud environments. It has four 3.5″ bays, which can accommodate both conventional SATA hard disks and SSDs.

    Our company delivers the equipment configured with Centos 7.1/7.3 (free derivative and 100% compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Server).

    This equipment is designed for research groups that want to start working in HPC with ARM environments, Big Data solutions and server virtualization, both web and other functionalities. It comes standard with both the Centos operating system, customized for the computer, and the Apache web server.

    2 SOCKET: SIE Ladon ARM 2C

    Sie Ladon ARM 2C, is based on the Gigabyte R270-T60 and Gigabyte R150-T61 platforms. The only difference lies in the number of disks supported, being in the case of the R270-T60 12 disks (more intended for bigdata environments) and in the case of the R150-T61 4 disks.

    In both cases, it has a total of 96 cores at 2 Ghz, equivalent to about 48 Intel Xeon cores, with a power consumption of 1,800 W compared to 4,200 W for Intel.

    In addition, as these are more mission-critical servers, the R270-T60 and R150-T61 platforms are equipped with redundant power supplies.

    They include 4 10G SFP+ and 3 40G QSFP+ Ethernet connections as standard, which allows connection to

    DOUBLE TWIN: SIE Ladon ARM 2TW

    Sie Ladon ARM 2TW, represents the densest option, since we equip a total of 384 ARM cores in the 2U space. It is based on the Gigabyte G211-H4G platform and incorporates 4 nodes with hot-swappable redundant power supply.

    In this 4-node solution, each node incorporates 96 cores as in the 2-socket solution and can grow from 64 GB to 2 TB per node, with 4-channel-to-memory architecture.

    In this solution, each node is equipped with two 40G QSFP+ connection ports. All redundant nodes and power supplies are hot-swappable, so that the failure of one or more of them does not affect the functionality of the rest of the nodes.

    The Sie Ladon ARM 2TW platform is designed for high-density cluster solutions.

    CLUSTER SIE Ladon ARM

    SIE is able to offer ARM-based cluster solutions, which allow a total of more than 7,000 ARM Cavium Thunder cores per rack. SIE Ladon OS 7.x is now ready for the new ARM architecture. Thanks to the efforts of the Open Source community, we have the base operating system for our Centos 7 solution, as well as other tools in the public domain: Python, Php, KVM, SLURM, etc.

    In these clusters, we base our connectivity solutions on Mellanox. Standard 40G Ethernet connections are available as well as the possibility of incorporating 56 Gb/s FDR and 100 Gb/s EDR Infiniband solutions. We currently have customers working with ARM systems and 56 Gb/s Mellanox Connect-X 3 connections. These customers provide us with the following information:

    “With the ARM we got InfiniBand FDR working, almost full speed. On the x86 we pulled bandwidths of 6 GB/s and on the ARM we pulled 5 GB/s. This bandwidth is slightly lower, but in any case, it is clear to us that InfiniBand works in these environments.”

    In addition, SIE Ladon clusters already have a production environment with the SIE Ladon OS solution. In this ecosystem, we have programming tools such as C, Python or Php, virtualization systems such as KVM and our queuing system based on SLURM. Other tools such as RCUDA, CLUES, GCC OpenJDK Java, Apache Hadoop, MySQL, etc, are currently being developed, which will soon allow us to offer greater operability on this platform in our clusters.
