JURECA: Data Centric and Booster Modules implementing the Modular Supercomputing Architecture at Jülich Supercomputing Centre
Philipp Thörnig
Abstract
JURECA is a Pre-Exascale Modular Supercomputer operated by Jülich Supercomputing Centre at Forschungszentrum Jülich. The system combines a flexible Data Centric (DC) module, based on the Atos BullSequana XH2000 with a selection of best-of-its-kind components, and a scalability-focused Booster module, delivered by Intel and Dell Technologies based on the Xeon Phi many-core processor. With its novel architecture, it supports a wide variety of high-performance computing and data analytics workloads.
