Let’s learn more about the Sandy Bridge architecture!

Friday, December 7th, 2012

The User Support Team carried out a series of benchmarks on the  Sandy Bridge Cluster  «Pilatus», also in view of the arrival of the new Cray XC30 system, already known as «Piz Daint».  Pilatus only mimics single node hardware of Piz Daint which will

  • have a much better network (probably the currently best in industry)
  • provide the Cray software stack, including optimized libraries and development tools

Another type of GPU is now being evaluated at CSCS. The cards now offer ECC. Applications developed in OpenCL will be tested on this new graphics cards by several units at CSCS.

Highend card with up to 2048 shader processors and 5GB (W8000) and 6GB (W9000) DDR5 Memory.

Memory bandwidth is 176 (W8000) and 264 GB/s (W9000). The cards can deliver 3.23 Tflops SP Peak (W8000) and 3.99 Tflops SP Peak (W9000). DP is a factor 4 lower.
