Goethe-HLR

Goethe-HLR is a general-purpose computer cluster based on several CPU architectures. The system was installed in Industriepark Höchst in 2019 and 2020 extended with GPU nodes.

Hardware:

• 730 compute nodes in water-cooled racks,
• Initially 472 at the end of 2018.
• thousands of CPU cores,
• 864 AMD Radeon Instinct MI50 GPUs,
• 192, 768 or 128 GB of RAM per node,
• EDR and FDR InfiniBand interconnects (2:1 blocking fat tree network),
• a parallel scratch filesystem with a capacity of 2.4 PB and an aggregated bandwidth of 27 GB/s.
