![]() Advanced Clustering recommends that all systems be kept between 68☏-72☏ and not to exceed 78☏. This can save hundreds and in some instances thousands of dollars.Ĭomputer! To ensure optimal performance of your cluster adequate cooling must be provided. Also, if you can have larger amperage receptacles or even 3 phase power installed, fewer power distribution units can be used. There is nothing more frustrating than receiving a cluster and not being able to plug it in, because the power hasn’t been installed or the plugs were the incorrect style or amperage. Knowing basic power information can save you time and money. Most end-users do not have an unlimited amount of power, thus it’s important to know what you have and/or how much you can get before configuring a new system. Power should be a fore thought and not an afterthought. When purchasing a cluster, it is easy to get caught up in how fast it will be, how many machines will you get, but without adequate electrical facilities, the fastest most powerful cluster is just a bunch of expensive metal boxes. There are three environmental considerations to think about when purchasing a cluster: how much power will it require, how much air conditioning will it need to keep cool, and where is it going to be housed. For optimal performance, platforms with several multi-core processors can require interconnect bandwidth equal to or greater than 100 Gb/s. With the growing deployment of multiple, multi-core processors in server and storage systems, overall platform efficiency and CPU and memory utilization depends increasingly on interconnect bandwidth and latency. This will ensure you are getting the best solution for your particular code. We have most interconnects on hand for you to test. ![]() Ask us about testing your code using on one of our HPC clusters. If you require high bandwidth or low latency, a high speed interconnect might be a better solution for your cluster. With a standard gigabit switch you can expect 1Gb/sec bi-directionally and 30µs latency. To help conserve rack space, switches 48 ports and less come in a convenient 1U form factor.ĭepending on your job, gigabit may be the perfect solution. We have found that switches up to 48 ports are extremely affordable and most have uplinks that allow them to expand for additional nodes. Switch configurations come in every size from 4 ports to hundreds. Today most switches are wire speed to every port, and many support jumbo frames. ![]() Every Pinnacle Server comes standard with at least one gigabit adapter onboard. Delivery is easy, too, since we ship all clusters pre-assembled into rack cabinets with all nodes, cables and accessories installed and labeled. Our highly trained and experienced technicians are readily available to answer your questions and ensure that the system you purchase is ideal for your applications.Īfter ordering, you’ll be able to keep track of the build process online or through a direct connection to your dedicated cluster engineer. We make the purchasing process easy by working with you to determine the best configuration for your needs. A simplified purchasing process to ensure needs are met If we find any issues during this extensive analysis, we fix them in-house to deliver a stable and fully operational product to you. This tool thoroughly checks processors, memory, hard drives and temperature and finds any ECC or MCE errors that may occur. Extensive testing procedures for plug-and-play readinessīefore we ship a cluster, it spends a minimum of 24 hours running our own powerful stress-testing software, Breakin. When a new processor or architecture is announced, rest assured that we have already tested it and are prepared to ship systems that include this new technology on or close to the launch date. By using our strong vendor relationships and technical expertise, we are able to adapt to the latest hardware and software offerings, often much more quickly than other cluster providers. Our engineers are always evaluating the newest technology to make our HPC clusters even better. We build customized, turn-key HPC clusters
